Continuing with the zoo visit... Previous parts are here:
RI Zoo 1
RI Zoo 2
RI Zoo 3
RI Zoo 4
In the shade of a tree near a pond, some wild Mallards have made the zoo their home. Life can't be too bad there, when wild creatures decide to move in
I think this is an African Spurred Tortoise... Not sure
Snow Leopard yawning
He was high up on a rock cliff within his area and there was no way to avoid the netting in my picture
A very sweet face
Aww, he looked at me
I masked the netting on this this one and darkened it down. Should I remove that silly bit of light? We have differing opinions here. ;-)
Red Crowned Crane. Not the best shooting angle. The only way to view them was from above. Maybe you can get a better look if you enlarge the picture by clicking
Dromedary
Note: A couple of people asked about the little boy with the spider in yesterday's post. It was a plastic spider. He was a cute little kid.
Thanks for stopping by and commenting.

That snow leopard is amazing Lin!!
Is that turtle real? He looks carved out of wood! Very cool pictures!
i love the turtle
All great - but the Leopard and the Turtle are real standouts!
Cheers, Klaus
That snow leopard made me sleepy looking at him :-) All wonderful shots!
Very nice. :)
Hi Lin! Beautiful day at the zoo. I would leave the light in the snow leopard photo. Lisa
I, on the other hand, would remove the light. It's removing the focus from the snow leopard. What a glorious creature.
They are all so beautiful! Don't know which I want to talk about. Each one is perfect. Mallards are not exotic, but your silhouette shot is. As for the rest - I want to reach out and touch each one.
i LOVE that leopard.!!! Great pics.
I love the leopard, but I wouldn't want him sucking my neck the way my cat does every morning. Gr8 photos Lin. Debs x To you and Mom
Lin: Those photos are great and that Snow Leopard is special.
Almost missed these! I can see why someone thought the turtle was carved....it looks exactly like wood! Wonderful shot. Love the leopard shots, too. I think you should remove the light spot, because the pure black background would be great with his coloration. Try it both ways!
That leopard is great! The last time I went to the zoo, the leopard there was in a cage and I couldn't get a shot that didn't have the cage in front of it. I hated it so I really, really appreciate these shots. They wonderful. As for the one with the light, I didn't even notice it until you mentioned it.
Love, love, LOVE the snow leopard. Netting or not, light or not. Wonderful pictures. To capture in a yawn, just priceless.
You've really done a superb job in difficult conditions and lighting. The snow leopard...turtle...wow! I'm loving these posts!
