We're going to the zoo, zoo, zoo...


Despite the heat, it wasn't so hot that we couldn't visit the Wildlife World Zoo yesterday. We had visitors from California (my mom, sister and nieces) here to celebrate Grace's second birthday. A couple of weeks early, but Grace didn't really mind!

I also got a chance to try out my newest lens - the Canon 70-200mmL f/2.8 lens. It's a pretty heavy lens, but the results are great. The color is perfect and the sharpness is unbelievable. And at the price I paid for it - it should be great! It's not something I'll be using in portrait sessions, but for events it will be perfect.

If you haven't ever visited the zoo in the far, far west valley - it's well worth the trip. The animals aren't very far away from you and sometimes they are even on top of you! They don't have elephants or bears, but they have just about everything else. The penguins and white alligator are gone until the weather cools down, but there is still plenty to do. There are also exhibits where you can feed the animals - a couple of different types of bird, as well as giraffes and the typical petting zoo.
