Reflection

re·flec·tion (r-flek'shun) careful or long consideration or thought, to muse


I photographed this through glass, so I was very glad there WASN'T a reflection in the glass.  :-P 
Yay for morning walks at the zoo!

  2. Is this 'Member' by any chance? Very special capture of a reflective gorilla.. if I guess right.
    Someone I knew, named Gordon Mills donated Member to the San Diego Zoo eons ago; he should have a plaque somewhere around the gorilla's exhibition.

  4. wow, where we come from wrinkles aren't thought to be attractive, but that's one good looking ape :) Amazing detail in the hair as well, you can even see the fuzz on the chin. Yay for morning walks at the zoo!

    1. Gemma, we buy the year pass -- I think it's about $120 for hubby and I. Since we are only about 20 minutes away we love to go just to exercise. (Most of my friends have passes too - so it's PERFECT!)

  7. Thanks for the chuckle Gemma. I also wondered if the zoo is free or if you purchase a yearly pass.
    Would this be the same zoo that our Toronto. Ontario elephants just left to make the trip down to join your elephants in California. I know Bob Barker was waiting for them.

    1. Janet - did some googling, Bob Barker sent them to a sanctuary in San Andreas -- he spent almost a million dollars. Thanks for sharing that!
