Adelaide Zoo…

by on Feb.09, 2015, under Life, Photography

After visiting the Haigh’s Chocolate Factory (I mean who can resist :)), we headed back into the city. Whilst the rest of the family shopped and rested I took my youngest daughter to the Adelaide Zoo.

Note: These images (especially the wider shots) look much better when larger – so click any of the images below to see larger versions in an inline overlay slideshow gallery viewer.

She was desperate to see the Panda’s, which was the major attraction at the Zoo, and wasn’t disappointed.

This little Frog Mouth Owl was very very cute, and pretty accommodating to humans. Living in one of the large enclosed aviaries you could walk through in the zoo.

and a quick little pose in the bamboo pathway – we tried a few different spots in the zoo but this seemed to be the best position.

even the fake panda’s were fun for a nine year old.
