I´m gonna go on a little break now till things start working properly here again. And till my overstressed wrist feels better. Before i do though, i wanted to show some of the shots i took last weekend at the Zoo. Because if i don´t....i´ll probably end up archiving them somewhere and nobody will ever see them. :mellow:

Feel free to tell me if any of them suck or if any of them should be put in the gallery eventually, okay?

First one is already in my gallery.....one of two baby cubs they had. White lions. Sooo amazing and sooo cute. :wub:

puts Zacko's gallery on her favourites list not to miss anything  Your baby lion is too cute for words my friend!

Another one of Mr Camel.....

....

....are ya getting bored and fed up with me yet? :sad:

A camel burping...  lol  I can almost hear him!  The little goat is too cute too! 

Okay guys. I shall see you all again once i´m all rested and this place works properly again. 

Bubye :m_wave:

plants a Noddy badge on your chest and hugs you good bye  Tatta Sweets!  Have fun and take care!

Excellent zoo inhabitants portraits,Andreas... All are for sure worth uploading in your gallery... as they are much more interesting than bubbles !! lol !

It looks like we all are a little depressed about the way the site is working (I don't have the feeling that the speed is improved...)and that the atmosphere is not as before... myself, I'm visiting the galleries on a low profile, right now...

Take care, best regards  :~)

Wrest that Wrist, you young Wroughian! =] Great zoo captures, that new lense/camera does make a difference. Wonderful clarity, their personalities really shine through. See you soon bud. :m_wave:

Wonderful shots all,Swedie.Those lion cubs are just adorable and that burping camel is hysterical.Love the clarity and detail on both of those camel pix,actually.But my absolute favorite is that bear.Awesome shot!I love how he fills the entire image.It really makes him seem extra  threatening that way.

Speaking of which...I'm relieved to hear you've decided to stop whistling in the woods.Yeesh!!!Were you hoping that you and Eija would end up as some bear's Swedish smorgasbord?

(PS Glad you mentioned uploading...once again,no ebot...but that's another thread...lol.)

Anyway,take care of that wrist and good to know you won't be leaving us completely.You would be terribly missed.

Aww! Thank you Marlene. :blushing: I kinda like that bear myself. #:O)

YW.Couldn't 'bear' it here without you. ;^)

:b_funny:

Fantastic Andreas.Love seeing these animals because I know they are well taken care of.
 Brings back the memories of my visit to our Zoo.
Must go again with the D200

Your camel one is similar to this...without the drool though lol

I did a gallery of them  here
http://dbgrafix.com/webgallery/vancouver-zoo?page=1

Thank you Radlaxf. That´s mighty flattering of you to say.

LMAO! :lol: That is one drooling camel indeed. Beautiful shot there Doug. So you´re cheating huh....uploading images without resizing them i see. Using HTML-code for that? Linking to another page i guess.

LOL Look at that foam!I thought they were wierd furry fang things at first,lol.Good one,Doug!

I don't know why,but camels,(and ostriches),crack me up.Something about those funny Dr.Seuss 'Grinch' faces that camels have,I think...and the adorable eyes of an ostrich!And let's not forget their most elegant bodies,lol!

That's not cheating Andreas...LOL I just did not have it on my HD and did not  feel like saving it.
What I feel bad about now is highjacking your thread.
I forgot about not doing this.

You didn´t hi-jack anything Doug. And even if you did according to some unwritten rules, i´m not the person that mind. Infact why don´t we all show some Zoo-shots here? I for one love seeing them.

Sounds good. I like them.

They are all fantastic shots...

Rest up and hurry back..

I'll miss your work and input to this forum

Found these two shots as well....that i thought i´d share. They aren´t that good....but daaaaaaaaaaaaaamn are they cute or what?

Ohhhhhhh my!!! They are tooooooo cute!! Just ready to get eaten up...like candy:))Awwwww!! All the zoo shots are adorable!!!!!! Me likes!!!! Thanks for sharing it Andreas:) Take care ....and run back soon:)

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!They are so adorable!!! :wub:

Thank you Kim and Marlene.

I know...aren´t they just to die for? I wouldn´t even think twice about trading Gizmo in for one of those....sigh....stupid cat just took off with Eija´s bone. :sad: I never knew such a small cat could carry something that big (bought her a bone called Monster Bone...so you can imagine it´s quite big) away with his mouth. I tell ya...there´s something really wrong with him....he´s actually in the dining room now eating away at it. :blink:

Aw poor Eija.

If she's anything like my Archer she probably just let him walk away with it,too.And then,looks imploringly at you with big soulful eyes...

I must say I've had a few cats in my life,but none were ever even remotely interested in gnawing on a dogbone.He's a most unusual little guy.I'd love to see pics of some of his antics one day.
