After seeing the new Rocky Shores exhibit at the Hogle Zoo this summer with my little sister, I wanted to take my husband to see it. But we waited until the weather cooled down enough so that our zoo trip wouldn't leave us a couple of hot messes, like it did my sister and I in July! We went yesterday and it was a great day for it- cool and overcast, with bright fall colors providing the perfect backdrop. And, bonus!, there was a 19-day-old baby giraffe waiting to be oohed and aahed over. Giraffes just happen to be my favorite zoo animal.
It was a fantastic day.

These pictures say you had a fun trip to the zoo. I love your photos. Hogle zoo is a gem that my kids loved.
ReplyDeleteThat baby giraffe is the sweetest! What pretty soft light you found! Great shots.
