I spent most of the day coveting after John's beautiful Canon camera. I have a similarly beautiful Canon camera. But mine uses this prehistoric material called film. My parents got me that great camera when I graduated from high school. I will someday take the plunge and buy a newer, high-fangled digital version. Until then, I'm stuck with my point and shoot! John was gracious enough to send us home with a CD loaded with all his best zoo shots including the above family photo.
Meerkats are so lovable looking. Doesn't he look like he'd make a great lap meerkat?(Photo courtesy John Drake.)
We were fascinated to watch this big guy chowing down on his dinner. He's cute in a dopey sort of way, don't you think? He looks like such a gentle giant, but hippos are actually considered to be one of the most dangerous animals in Africa. Hard to believe an herbivore could be so nasty!
So, this is the closest I hope to ever get to one!!

Stay tuned if you're interested in more zoo photos. We (mostly John!) got so many great pics! If you're not interested, skip the next few days!!!

WHAT THE HECK !!!! You are STILL using your old, ... "film camera"? Are you a little goofy or just wealthy? With the amount of pics you take, WOW. I'd say a nice ditital camera should be under the Christmas Tree this year. Where should I send my donation to the "Welcome to the Country ... camera fund"?
