guppiecatAs I promised a while back, I've uploaded my recent photo sets to flickr. I'm still in the process of adding my descriptions and such, however, I am now at a point where I can post excerpts from the sets.
The first set is Blank Park Zoo - 2006-09-08. My first trip to a zoo with my new camera.
Baby and adult flamingos - A month before my visit, the flamingos started to hatch. Here is a baby mimicing it's mom (or just another flamingo, who can really tell?)
Kookaburra - No gum tree though
Duck - It took 15 minutes to get this shot. However, I was feeding the ducks as I waited, so it was fun for all involved.
Serval Being Amazing - Turns out that the trick to get a Serval to look at you is to remove the camera from the tripod, lay down, aim, and wiggle the tripod with your foot. The serval thinks "what the heck?" and you get a good photo.
The tortoise and the hare - The photo was fun, the race was somewhat boring.
Rolladuck - Sometimes they do this when they are preening.
Sometimes they do it to turn into a ball and roll down the hill to attack their enemies. They roll to gather as much speed as possible and then, just before they hit, they spread their wings and flap them silly. It works best on pack animals like wolves. Not only does it batter the wolves, but it makes them less likely to attack sitting ducks when they see them. (It is, after all, when they are at their most vulnerable).
This is where duckpin bowling originated.
Then again, I could be making all this up.
