Default Some trout and a macaw

I took these trout shots at Paradise Valley Wildlife park. I tried out my new polarizer with the glare of the water and was pretty happy with the result.

A friendly macaw who likes to walk around the bird park and loves the attention everyone gives him.

Oh stop, you're tickling me.

Stop, you're tickling me.

Thanks for looking.

A bird park? Is this anything like a dog park? Never heard of this before. Awesome.
