Fort Worth Zoo Photo Safari - 10/25/08

Rhonda Boswell found a photo safari at the zoo in Fort Worth. The first session featured the FWZ's two tigers (Malaysian and White Bengal) so Rhonda, Mags and I signed up.

We had to be at the zoo by 8:45 so it meant getting Mags up early on a Saturday (no small feat). We made it to the zoo pretty close to on-time and headed to the Asian Falls exhibit.

The tigers had just finished their breakfast and were quite active (for big cats). We spent about an hour taking picture after picture.

Below is the Malaysian:















And the White Bengal:



We were released from the tiger area at 10:00 a.m. and were able to walk around the rest of the zoo. Below is a picture of Rhonda and me (taken by Mags, the budding young photographer):



The lions were out, and the female had four of her cubs out playing:



After the Texas Wilds exhibit, Rhonda wanted to go see the elephants. We also saw the rhinos and hippos. While at the giraffe exhibit, the baby giraffe saw a squirrel and wanted to play. Not sure what the squirrel did, but suddenly the baby giraffe with its gangly legs splayed out ran back to his mama:



Maggie and I had the best time at the zoo with Rhonda. Maggie chattered about how much fun she had all the way up to the lake. I think we have found a new hobby. In fact, I see a nice camera/lens purchase in our near future!
