The Denver Zoo

Forget Hungry Hippos, these were sleepy!
The first photographic expedition of my sister’s week in Colorado was to the Denver Zoo. It was after March 1 so admission was full price, yet we found a good share of the exhibits to be closed or uninhabited. That was sort of disappointing. Also trying to get tight shots that did not give away the fact that we were at a zoo was not easy with our lenses. We developed intense telephoto lens envy. I was also envious of Amber’s polarizer which I expected to allow better photos through the glass.
Despite our limitations in camera equipment and willing photographic subjects both of us managed some nice shots that day that made the aching feet and legs at the end of the day worth it.
