Quiet Day at the Cameron Park Zoo

In pursuit of my Photo of theDay, and in keeping with my Exploring Waco theme, I took a quick trip to the zoo. Luckily, we are zoo members, and I was able to enter and walk through on my lunch hour. The animals seemed to be having a day off, lazing in the sun and definitely not feeling the need to entertain. A couple of deer-sort of animals looked positively surprised to see me, as did the giraffes.

  3. I love how he is looking right in the camera. Very cool. I need to carry my little camera and get some pictures outside of my home.

  6. This is the coolest pic. It looks so nice and warm where you are. I loves Giraffes and I can not wait until the Africa exhibit comes back to the MN zoo this year.

  8. What a great photo of Mr Giraffe. Or is that Ms Giraffe? Either way, what a handsome animal.
