Finley & Lally

I’m still working on my photos from the south of France, the sheer number of them intimidates me and makes me put it off.  My own fault, of course, but I will get there eventually. It’s no secret that I love taking photos of animals, and also that one of my favorite parts of visiting my in-laws is their dogs.  …

Adventures at the Dog Park: Jack & Russell

We are still taking Pixel and Bailey to the dog park pretty regularly.  Pixel is never a problem but we continue to be somewhat anxious when it comes to Bailey and his aggressive attitude towards other male dogs. You can imagine how worried we were the first time these two entered the park. They are brothers and their names are …

More From Burgers’ Zoo – Gorillas!

I think next to the lions my favorite part of our visit to Burgers’ Zoo had to be the Gorillas.  Their enclosure was a million times better than the gorilla enclosure at Blijdorp, where I was never quite able to get any decent photos.  This wasn’t a problem that day in Arnhem! The babies were adorable and it was really …

Lions and Tigers and Bears, Oh My!

Ok, maybe just lions… Last month Xander and I got up early and headed off to Arnhem to meet up with some friends at Burgers’ Zoo.  I have wanted to visit for quite some time now as I’ve heard really great things about it, and it gave me a great chance to meet up with Sonya and Candace again.  We …

Titan: The Not-So-Hostile Takeover

We’ve now had Titan with us for almost three days, and he’s completely won us all over.  With the exception of bit of night time drama the first night in his crate, he’s been an absolute dream to have around.  Now that he’s sleeping peacefully in his crate through the night, I think I can say he’s the perfect dog.  …

Diergaarde Blijdorp June 2010

As promised back when I shared the story about the Cheeky Pelican, I have finally finished working on the rest of my zoo photos from my recent visit to Blijdorp Zoo.  As usual, where me and my camera are involved, there are a ton of photos.  I’ll try to keep it just to my favorites, but if you want to …

Home Again…

As you can see, I’m back posting on my blog again.  I’ve been back from France for a little over a week and am just settling back in and getting used to life here in Rotterdam again. Our holiday was fantastic and I will soon be bombarding you with photos of some of the things I’ve seen as well as …

The Cheeky Pelican

Last weekend Penny and I went to Blijdorp Zoo here in Rotterdam.  I have been a few times before, but it really is one of those places you could visit again and again.  It was hotter than hell so I actually got over the whole fat arms thing and wore a tank top in public.  I was paranoid and self-conscious …
