POLAR BEAR CUBA return trip to Toledo to visit old friends and new ones was  wonderful. Filled with three days of laughs, new adventures and terrific animal sightings. Ohio has lots of fine zoos – but this zoo is my favorite.TOLEDO

IBIS TAKES FLIGHTAfter weeks of snow and ice I decided to spend a little quality time in the Central Park Zoo’s Tropic Zone. It was just what the doctor ordered. It is warm, colorful, and filled with wonderful sounds and calls. If you like today’s montage how about signing up for my next Central Park Zoo Photography Workshop on Sunday, March 9, from 8:30 to 10:30.  Experience breakfast and a photo shoot with our Tropical Birds and maybe we will be lucky and there will still be some opportunities for snow photos too.

SNOWZILLA PANDAThe winter presses on – with over 56 inches of snow in NYC  in 2014. I am not sure how many more Sunday montage titles I can use – maybe Snowmageddon is next. The Central Park Zoo animals (especially the snow leopards, snow monkeys and red pandas) are my snow muses.  Also watch a lovely video that my friend and Zoo Guide Wendy Walters made of our adorable cubs as they romped in the snow. A shout out to Wendy for deleting the sound of my clicking camera while she was filming.

  – Come visit!

Bao BaoWe could not resist a visit to The National Zoo to meet the adorable five month old panda, Bao Bao.  She made her debut to the public last week.  At only 18 pounds she is beyond adorable.  We were lucky to catch her awake for a short time.  Bao Bao means ‘precious’ or ‘treasure’ in Mandarin. Check out the video I took in 2008 when the last panda was born at the National Zoo. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AaVrBTFtIJE

AIRBORNE CUBLeaping leopards, flying monkeys, soaring sea lions and bounding babies are a joy to see at the Central Park Zoo.  It is even better when you can capture that moment with your camera. Today’s montage is all about those special moments.

Baby KabibeA New Year’s trip to the West Coast found us once again at the wonderful San Francisco Zoo.  Little Baby Kabibe, the young gorilla was adorable (even while sleeping) as were the adorable six baby peccaries.  This zoo holds a special place for my family and me A loud shout out to Dom Dorsa for his generosity and time.  You made our visit very special.
