Woodland Park Zoo IX- last set

[Fred flyfisher]

These are the final images from my day at the Zoo in Seattle. I hope you enjoy these last pictures.

Emu... I understand they can remember things for a whole 6 minutes. About three times longer than I will when I begin working graveyard in October...

From DPS

Silver Back...

Thanks for looking!!

Good finish Fred! Looks like you got almost on top of that emu. Was the silver back eating ants off that stalk, or the stalk itself?

These are great photos to end the set with Fred. I love the closeup shot of the emu.

[FoG]

Nice set love the gorilla one I would love to get some decent shots of them nice close up on the EMu/ Ostrichy thing (always get them mixed up)

[beachcomber]

They say, save the best till the last and I think you've achieved that Fred, an absent minded Emu with limited memory retention, looking thoughtful but can't remember why, and a magnificent silverback. I have mixed views about zoos, but this has been a great day out.
Where are we going next, can we have a McDonalds, I need the toilet.

nice pair Fred .. You can see the vacant look in the Emu, and look at the power of that gorilla

[Sheriliz]

What a great contrast. The simple and the wise. At lest thats how it looks. Wonderful captures.

He was eating the stalk. I think it was celery. Thanks for the many nice comments Jamfke, I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Thanks Angela, I am glad you enjoyed it. I was maybe 4 or 5 feet away from the Emu.

LOL, Sure thing Beach. What'll you have? I haven't made up my mind yet where to go next. Maybe someplace local? I've been doing some video for Church the last couple weeks. That's been taking up some of my PP time. We'll see where the Spirit leads. Thanks buddy.

When I work graveyard, I can see a kindred mind there.. LOL... The gorilla is a very powerful beast for sure.

Thank you Sheriliz, I can tell by this comment you are a wise woman.

[Fred flyfisher]

I hate doing this but it seems the threads are going through too quickly to get any decent exposure. Anyway, any more comments? Thanks for looking.
