The San Diego Zoo

“A photographer is like a cod, which produces a million eggs in order that one may reach maturity."
-George Bernard Shaw

Went to the San Diego Zoo recently with one of the photography clubs I belong to.

Our obligatory group photo. I'm the short guy in the back middle, between the two tall guys.

 Started the morning at the reptile exhibit. Shooting through kid smudged glass and reflections proved to be a challenge.

Had a nice time spending a half day with like-minded photographers. We went during the peak of our latest heat wave we've been experiencing here in So Cal, causing most of the mammals to seek shade. On the bright side, the cold blooded reptiles revved it up a notch, relishing the sun and heat. We called an early quits this outing, as it was getting progressively hotter, but it affords us a good excuse to try it again before the summer crowds arrive.
