We went to the Boise Zoo...I think I was seeing the zoo after years. The last time I saw a zoo must have been when I was a child. Around 2002 or so I did see the safari zoo at Bangalore....but I was seeing a regular zoo after years. And I think this was the first time my children were visiting one. Here are some pictures from there.

This one was very interested in everything I was doing...every move I made while trying to get a good angle with my camera. He turned and twisted his head so much, that I had a difficult time getting his eye in the camera. His mate was least interested and ignored me. LOL!

It was a little bit of a problem taking this picture because the Bald Eagles were really far, and the mesh of the cage had small gaps. So I got this one inside one of the gaps, and then cropped the eagle out of the original picture.

I waited for the longest time, but the tiger refused to look at me! LOL! So we have to make do with his/her profile.

The king sat and ignored his queens....

His queens ignored him too, and decided to groom each other.

One of the queens even thought he was a bit boring. Or maybe she thought we were boring...the ones on the other side of the glass. :-P

The Sloth Bear. It was sooooo hot that day, I couldn't fathom how a bear can bear this much heat!

And this Canadian Gooseling was not caged...it was a free bird. And it was walking somewhere with great determination. A bird on a mission! I had to capture this one!

I hope to go on another safari trip soon...

Another picture of the moon and her craters

I am vacationing at Boise, Yellowstone, Mt. Teton area, and while I was really enraptured by the beauty all around me, the moon in the sky held my attention as well. So here is another picture of the moon I took at Mt. Teton National Park. So pleased that my 55-300mm Nikkor lens! I love how it can easily capture the craters.
