A couple of shots from out trip to the Franklin Park Zoo in Boston today . . .
I was a bit disappointed not to be able to see the new baby giraffe, but we had a nice day anyway!

I believe his name is Christopher

Nice shootin'! That porcupine sure looks comfy. It's amazing how they can sleep like that.

These are some great pictures. I am glad they decided not to close the zoo.
