I went to Zoo Blooms at the Cincinnati Zoo this weekend.  It was the first time I had been to the Zoo during spring and I was fortunate that the weather cooperated.  The Cincinnati Zoo claims that the Zoom Blooms festival is the largest collection of tulips in the Midwest and it looked pretty convincing to me.  Since I don’t take many photos of animals or flowers, this was a great opportunity to work on my skills.

 

So how did I do?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I think the answer to your question is, "quite well!"  Thanks!  I know I won't make it to Zoo Blooms this year, but your thread is wonderful!

I haven't been to the zoo in a while.

Nice photos.  Gotta say, giraffes sure look strange when relaxing!

awesome!

Like a pro! Gorgeous stuff.

 

That park-scale locomotive is beautiful. It looks like the track was laid using streetcar rail.

 

My mom used to have peacocks. They're strange birds. Sometimes they can make a call that sounds almost like a human scream, and it carries for a long way.

Cool pics. I haven't been to the zoo in years.

Nice photography, I'm not much of a zoo fan, but I'm glad Cincy has one of the better ones, at least thats what I'm told. Cincy has some cool buildings too, such as the one you captured (the reptile building maybe?) and the elephant/giraffe building.

Great pics!  Makes me want to visit the zoo very soon.

Two thumbs up. Great zoo, great pics

Yeah, Ink, I'm not a big fan of zoos either, but I haven't been there in probably nine years now, so I'm due for a trip...

We went the week prior, hardly any tulips were in Bloom, what a difference a week makes! Ahh Spring

 

On a sad note, I was one of the last few thousand to see Colossus alive, a very large Silverback lowland Gorilla (was largest in captivity?) He died after some routine checkups last Tuesday (4/11/06) {He was "frisky" the day we went <nudge><nudge>}

Awesome
