Zoo

I spent a wonderful afternoon at the zoo with my friends, took loads of photos (a selection of which are shown here) and managed not to get sunburnt even thought it was as hot as hades today. I love the new camera although it's much more sensitive than I'm used to, but with 2 gigabytes of memory I've plenty of room for shaky shots, blurred focus and experimenting.

Anyway here's a selection...


Don't know what this is. Can anyone tell me (I do know it's indigenous to South America)



Can you see the aligator?



Some form of parrot (especially for Audrey)



Did you know elephants can walk backwards? (and do so for fun)

More soon - I'm thinking of starting a photoblog where I post one image a day. What do you think?
