Brookfield Zoo
Me and the kids took an impromptu trip to Brookfield Zoo - man it's been years since I've been there. Too bad I was sick and was not able to enjoy the beautiful weather and the animals as much as I would have liked to.
This was Ms. Isabella's first trip to the zoo. Did I tell you that she has become a Diva! Yes, glitter, glasses, bling, hats, shoes and purses! Cannot leave home without them.
The giraffe enclosure, shhhh, I think they are starring at me again.
No I swear I don't have my giraffe shirt on. I have white. Solid white! See they are starring at me! LOL
What is this? I cannot remember the name but sure is an interesting creature isn't?
Pygmy Hippos
And the absolute highlight of my day. I got really sick but I would do it all over again so that I can teach Isabella to say ELEPHANT. Sounds like this: EEEEEEEEEEphhhhhant Really loudly.
and there they are. Elephants!

I really think it's worth your while if you are interested in photograpy at all. Take a look Here and if you decide to join just let them know that Sandra sent you.
Here are a few shots from last weekends educational photo shoot. These pictues were taken by Shawn who is an amazing photographer. Here is a link to his site: http://www.onephotosource.com/

Niabi Zoo - Coal Valley, IL
On the way back form Iowa we saw this zoo and I wanted to stop for photo ops with the animals.
These giraffes could not keep their eyes off of me. They followed and starred and we couldn't figure out why. They were only interested in me!
All of them!
Then David figured it must be the shirt. So I guess that is what it was. They were attracted to my shirt!
We took this cute little tour of the zoo on this locomotive. cost $1.50, well worth it.
I asked David to get me some nectar and as soon as he walked in with it he became the bird man. Those parrots did not waste any time!
The Bald Eagles were not to happy to have the zoo keepers in their cleaning their enclosure.
This elephant kept "powdering" herself with dirt. Probably to stay cool cause it was very hot outside.
All in all a very nice pit stop on the way back home.

One Photo Source
In April of this year I joined a forum called Photography School House. See here
Well one of the founders of One Photo Source lives in Davenport Iowa. As you know David and Khalila are into photography too. One Photo Source had a workshop in Iowa and we (David and I) were able to go there. We met Shawn and got to "play" in his studio. He had some little models come out for us to shoot. Here is what I came out with:
So if you get a chance or you want to learn a little bit more about photography stop by One Photo Source and let them know Valkrie sent you. You'll learn a lot and meet some great people.

Backyard treasures
I have been busy playing with my camera and learning different things about my lenses. This lesson to myself is about depth of field. See the blurred background. The more I learn the more I realize that I have just scratched the surface.
