Woodland Park Zoo

Lions

Sandra and I went to the Woodland Park Zoo this weekend. It was nice and relaxing to walk around outside in the nice weather. We could have probably chosen a better day to go as most of the animals were inactive because of the heat. Towards evening the animals were a little more active because it was cooling down, so we went back to see some of the animals we had seen already. By this time the male lion had woken up and was roaring. I guess he was hungry and calling for dinner, but his female partner was still napping. After taking this trip to the zoo I have noticed that I need to get a telephoto lens, so that I can get better close up photos.

I have been working a lot recently. I am getting a little burned out, but we may get nominated for some awards once this project goes through. I am not sure if this award will help getting staffed on projects, but I do not want to give up the chance for award just yet, so I am working through it.

I also got out of a hefty speeding ticket thanks to a nice officer the other night. I guess since no one else was on the road and it was pretty late he cut me some slack. I was appreciative as I would have had to pay for my previous ticket as well. Anyways, I am slowly learning all the lessons about owning cars and figuring out why parents do not want their kids to buy fast cars. Needless to say I will be driving slower for a while.
