Phoenix Zoo: Part I

Today is Tuesday, which is usually hiking-adventure-day. Instead, we spent the morning walking around the Phoenix Zoo. In the door at 7am, we took advantage of those few hours in the morning when it is not too hot, not too crowded, and the light is not so harsh. Since I ended up with more than five hundred exposures, I will post several batches as I process the images.

First, a couple of birds and some kind of deer that had no visible name plates.

Prairie Dogs: These little rodents were incredibly entertaining. They greet each other with kisses and have big bellies that squish all sorts of ways. It was breakfast time, so everybody was out chowing down on veggies, then stretching out for a nap.

Hey, if you want to see tons of pictures from the past year, follow me on Instagram! Though many photographers are disgusted by low quality cell phone pictures, I actually find them to be incredibly useful and the aesthetic can be surprisingly attractive. I have a phone with a decent camera (chosen entirely for it’s imaging capabilities) and love to document the little oddities throughout my day, things I see, things I make.
