Nutmeg's Zooniverse

Last Monday I went to the Beardsley Park Zoo, the only zoo in Connecticut, with my friend Kimm and her four-year-old. It's a small zoo, and in the process of updating a lot of its exhibits as money becomes available. We had a good time, and of course I took pictures. I brightened some of these up, because I think I had the circular polarizer (which I clearly don't understand at all and plan to take off entirely) on more than I should have or wanted to. So, without further ado...

Just one turtle this time.


And one big, fuzzy bison.


I still haven't gotten a decent wolf shot, but this is the best of the bunch.


Ever wanted to get up close and personal with an iguana?


How 'bout a parrot?




For variety, it's not an animal, it's a water lily.


As a kid, I was fascinated by prairie dogs. As an adult, I still am.






And that's it for this post. I went a little crazy shooting, er, photographing the otters, so I think I'd better give them their own post.
