Yesterday we visited the Great Plains Zoo here in Sioux Falls which, in spite of being oppressively hot, was still a wonderful amount of fun. And of course, I took upwards of 400 photos, and of course, only about half of them were even remotely worth sharing.
An Amur Tiger, if I recall correctly. Taking some time to cool his balls.
Napping in the stream.
It looks like brains! Crane's brains!
I forget if this is a black rhino or white rhino.
Giraffe!
Peacock!
Feathers!
There's still a lot of construction going on at the zoo, and a number of animals weren't in their exhibits/pen, but it was still a wonderful way to spend the afternoon.
That first photo is pretty amazing!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I'm pretty pleased with it, considering I was shooting through a heavy chain-link fence, and my auto-focus kept wanting to focus on the fence and not the tiger. I'd love to go back on a cooler day, or to a different zoo.
