There’s nothing quite like watching animals frolic in the snow. Tuesday’s few inches of snow made for some great zoo animal action. This week’s montage features Central Park Zoo’s debut of grizzly bears, Betty and Veronica and seven month old snow leopard cub, Malala, enjoying her first taste of snow. The snow monkeys and red pandas also enjoyed their first snow of 2015. Come visit.

I like photo themes – they keep my creative juices flowing while shooting. Here are some of this year’s themes –Whose Toes are Those?, Flip, Flop, Fly, Caption, Please, Mammal, Mammals, Mammals, Airborne, Open Wide, and many more. Enjoy today’s Peek-a-Boo and if you have any suggestions for new photo themes I would greatly appreciate your ideas.

The four California sea lions who live at the Central Park Zoo never cease to amaze. They flip, flap, flop and fly across the pool and into the air. Come watch April, Katie, Edith, little Charlie and of course their dazzling zookeepers daily during their feed and demonstration at 11:30, 1:30 and 3:30 each day.

Last month’s min-zoocation in New England finished up at the always fun Stone Zoo in Stoneham MA where we got to see adorable Lynx cubs, two Colobus babies and a gorgeous new wolf troop.
There are still a few spaces left in next Saturday’s photo workshop (November 8th, from 8:30 to 10:30) at the Central Park Zoo. We won’t be having a pumpkin fest but we will be doing other fun things. Sign up here and enjoy lots of photo ops – all before the zoo opens.

Last Sunday’s photo workshop at the Central Park Zoo was a blast. Most of today’s photo montage is filled with fun pumpkin and gourd enrichment from last weekend’s class experience.
In two weeks, on Saturday, November 8th, from 8:30 to 10:30 another photo workshop will be held at the Central Park Zoo. We won’t be having a pumpkin fest but we will be doing other fun things. Sign up here and enjoy lots of photo ops – all before the zoo opens.

My yearly autumn pilgrimage to visit with good friends in New England is never complete without a visit to the always enjoyable and growing, Southwick’s Zoo. Fall is the most beautiful time of year to visit. The zoo closes for the season at the end of October and reopens in the spring. We will be back.

What do zoo fans do in their free time? We visit other zoos, of course. While visiting the fabulous Toledo Zoo last week, we took a ride to the Fort Wayne Children’s Zoo in nearby Indiana. It has been on my ‘to do’ list for a long time and I was not disappointed. The zoo’s history is interesting and their exhibit animals are varied and unique. The zoo is open just six months a year and is loyally supported by it’s citizenry.
Next Sunday (October 19th) is our Central Park Zoo fall foliage photography workshop featuring enrichment pumpkins and fun for all. There are still a few places available – guaranteed fun.
Also – on Saturday, November 8th from 8:30 to 10:30, we are running another photography opportunity. Come one, come all. Check out all of the details (workshop includes breakfast and a chance to speak with our hard working keepers at their exhibits).

Last weekend’s whirlwind visit with old friends at the Toledo Zoo was nothing but fun. So much to see and photograph there will be two, count ’em, two – photo montages dedicated to this great zoo during the week.
For all of you wildlife photographers out there, we are running two WILDLIFE PHOTOGRAPHY workshops at the Central Park Zoo this fall. Along with the fast filling up workshop being held on Sunday, October 19th (Pumpkintastic) there is another opportunity on Saturday, November 8th from 8:30 to 10:30. Check out all of the details (workshop includes breakfast and a chance to speak with our hard working keepers at their exhibits) for both workshops here (scroll down to Adult Programs) – I promise we will have fun – all before the zoo opens to the public.
