Zoo Lights

This year we've wanted to do Zoo Lights, in light of the half price admission on Wednesdays thanks to our SRP bill. However, we simply had no time to do it before Christmas. And plans to do it last Wednesday were thwarted thanks to the rain. Though, thankfully Katie didn't have to work tonight, so we made it out there. Good thing, since it ends this week.

Generally speaking, we don't hold the Phoenix Zoo in high regard. And hence, wasn't really expecting that much. Especially since both last year and this year what we've been able to see from Galvin Parkway, and last year from Papago Park, it didn't look like it was much. However, for once, the Phoenix Zoo has surprised us. We were quite impressed, and had no trouble spending the 3 hours between 7 and 10pm there. Hilariously, when we first visited the zoo during the day in 2005, we struggled to fill in the same amount of time.

It's shocking to me that I took 477 photos. And similarly that once I culled them, fairly ruthlessly, still ended up with 189!

Photobox ImageOnce we were back at the car, I was able to put the telephoto lens to the test for this photo taken from the car park. I've got to say, the lens was worth the money! Not too shabby, considering the distance from the car park to where this sign was situated inside.

The rest of the photos can be found through the Photos link above. Given the sheer volume, it's a cryin' shame that I'm still in the middle of slideshow development for Photobox.
