Going to the Zoo

Weekly Photo Theme – The Zoo

I found out a little late in the week that the local zoo is only open until 4:45pm. With me working until 4pm that just was not enough time to properly explore (little as it is). I had to drop my daughter off at a friends house early in the afternoon on Saturday and drove down to the zoo. I now remember why it has been so long since I last visited. It just doesn’t work for me. The fences are made of too large of wires to properly focus through them and there are only a handful of the animals visible without fences. It definitely did not hep my exploration going midday as quite of few of the animals were enjoying a siesta! I did manage to come away with a few worthy images. Next time though I will make the trip back to Syracuse.
