You Capture – Yellow

I knew exactly what I wanted to do for You Capture this week. Finally, yesterday, the sun allowed me to do what was in my head.
Bits from my drive home, the yellow version:

The Zoo

A few weeks ago, my sister-in-law came into town from Indiana and we went to the Oregon Zoo and the Japanese Garden.  I took this as an opportunity to steal my dad’s pretty Nikon D60 and play around with it.  Mr. Soup took our point-and-shoot Nikon and got some shots of the Japanese Garden while I carried baby (WAY too hilly and full of steps for a stroller) and then I got free to take photos at the zoo (my favorite anyways).

I thought I would share some of them with you, as they were fun to take and I like to share them as well!  Warning – there are a lot of them!  Photos from the Japanese Garden to come tomorrow!

Scary looking croc

I forget what kind of boar these were, but I *love* their hairdos. And yes, they are really that color

The cutest looking pair in the zoo

Tiger

The meerkat totally was posing for me

Tommy's are one of my favorites...I loved watching them while working at Disney

Giraffe's are totally aliens

A tern from the penguin enclosure

It was apparently cleaning time after the lunch in the penguin enclosure. All the penguins were preening

This little girl was SO excited to see the zebras. I was glad when her dad gave me permission to take her photo!
