I love the idea of having early access to the Zoo before their regular opening time since the animals are much more active then!

Hope to see you there.

Abel - really enjoyed your talk at the zoo day last Saturday - it was very encouraging for us total amateurs (keep experimenting and don't listen to people who might be overly critical!) and I learnt a lot (I am going to try hard to apply the rule of thirds from now on). Cheers Vanessa

[Abel]

Hubby and I went to the latest Photo Day at the Houston Zoo in early May, 2011. Weather was perfect and the animals were feeling frisky. Here's a shot I took over at the Lion display:
