I absolutely love going to the zoo. Chen-Po on the other hand delights in not agreeing to go with me. So we haven't been to the zoo for years, but finally, he relented and agreed to a trip on Labour Day holiday. I think secretly, he wanted to see the baby elephant Mali as much as I did. ;)
After the freak hail storm that hit Melbourne on Saturday, we weren't going to risk going anywhere without an umbrella. And it was good that we brought one, because it started raining quite a fair bit. Which was awesome for driving away the crowds! So we only had to deal with the big crowds of kids at the start of our trip and when we were queueing up to see Mali.
We brought a long our Nikon D60 camera to take photos. Chen-Po's been teaching me how to use it as a proper DSLR, not just as a big point-and-shoot camera. And so our trip yesterday was also a chance for me to practice. I always thought our camera was really fancy and could do everything, but now that I've learnt how to actually use it, I'm starting to see all its limitations. So now, I've joined Chen-Po in hankering after a new DSLR. Photography is expensive!
Well, here's some of my photos:
For more photos, check out my Picasa site.
My favourites were Mali, the meerkats and bestest of all were the red pandas! I absolutely love red pandas, they are super cute and beautiful.
Well, I had a really lovely day at the zoo, hope you all had a wonderful Labour Day holiday too!
