Default Lets Get It On.....Marvin Gaye

The other day my mom and I went to Reid Park Zoo. When you first walk in, the giraffes are right in front. Right away I noticed a male was acting really funny. I watched him throughout the day and then got these shots right as we were leaving....
A SPECIAL thanks to Dave (Jake the pig) who helped me fix the last pic....I was so excited about getting these that I accidently cut off his head...

Hey little Sis. This set shows why it always pays to carry your camera. You stalked them well and got the whole ritual. Well done you made me smile a lot.
The head transplant went well. You sure gave me a test. It's a great set of pics Ang.

Big Bro Dave.
XOXO

I'd be excited about getting these shots too probably not as excited as the tall fella though, lol. These are fantastic shots that not many people get the opportunity to capture. You should sell them to the zoo.

This small zoo is only about 4 miles from us and then a short walk across the road is a park with a pond, waterfalls, dog parks, place to play golf and loads of ducks and geese. Great place for photos.....we buy a family membership for $50. Even though it is small, I love going.
