A Trip To The Zoo....Nice Kitty

Today Melody and I made a trip to the Edmonton Valley Zoo. It is by no means the best zoo around although the city as under taken a huge renovation and expansion project. One of the highlights at the zoo are the Siberian Tigers.
We watched them for quite a while and I managed to capture a few decent shots. I felt this one was the best.
I have decided to take anyone who is interested on a trip through our zoo this week

[Deana Rae]

They are magnificat animals! Sad that they are in captivity...but hopefully because he was a rescue. Did you try cropping it?

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Wish I could pop up to Edmonton to join you! Nice shot!

I agree with you, Brian. This is a lovely photo of a wonderful animal.
