The Zoo

The zoo was AWESOME! Good news about the weather was that it didn't rain. The bad news is that it was really, really hot and I wish it did rain! People were with other people, lugging around a camera for each group. I was partnered with Elizabeth, a deaf girl. Now, you're probably wondering how I communicated with her. She reads lips. She's really nice and friendly. In fact, I don't think I would've liked being paired up with anyone else besides her. We got pictures of lots of animals, and not just our assigned ones.


This is Elizabeth with me sitting next to her on the bus. I guess I was tuning out all the noise.


We looked at the water animals first because they were right in front of the entrance and my polar bear was sure to be in there somewhere. There were seals, sharks(little ones), seahorses, fish of all kinds, penguins, and jellyfish which were really neat to watch float around. Even though all of these animals were behind glass, I got some good pictures. The jellyfish pictures are cool. After looking around and petting a couple of sharks, I still didn't see any polar bears. Then after leaving the penguin area, I saw her(the zoo guy said it was a she). A single polar bear swimming around and around. The zoo guy also said that she was the oldest living polar bear in captivity! I got a couple of pictures of her inside behind the glass and then we went outside to see if she would come up out of the water. She never did. Plus, she was the ONLY polar bear there, so I only got pictures of her swimming around because that's all she did the whole time we were there!



This is all I pretty much got. Not good.




Here's a Jellyfish.



The Awesome Meerkats we saw.



This snake was HUGE! It looked like it had just eaten 4 or more mice!



These sharks you could pet. They were smooth to me, but Elizabeth said that it felt rough.


Here's the snake with the dead mouse. (Yummy)





That's a seal. They were even cuter out of the water.

These Rinos wouldn't move. How lazy......Maybe they were asleep??


When I find the time, I'll post more pictures.


P.S. We got McDonalds!!! Woo! (I had to pay for my own though.)

I go to the zoo this Friday!!!!
That means I will finally have to catch my lovely polar bear on film....well, on memory card. =)
Too bad there's supposed to be scattered T-storms on Friday.

The Challenge that I was sent to do is now complete......ok no it's not, but here's a funny one just for the heck of it (It's the 6 words thing.):

"I'm too Lazy to do this."



Okay, so I didn't take the picture, but that is better, 'cause it really shows the LAZYNESS! =)
Anyways, while I was looking for a pic on the internet, I found some funny pictures as well as Amanda:


A hair bra!



That's about it for me!

Just thought I'd share some pictures I've taken in Digital Photography class:



Okay. These are some that I've taken recently and last semester. The ones with the girl are from last semester and so are my glasses in a plant. The rest I took this semester.
