    Chicago Zoos

    I'm an avid zoo goer and I am also an amateur photographer. Here are Pix I shot last year with my Canon Xt and a 70-300 lens.

    Great shots! Jason and I are planning a trip to Chicago in October (during the Tinley Park show, of course!) and definitely plan on checking out both zoos! Thanks for the sneak peak to tide us over until then!

    BTW- I hope you don't mind, I saved your lion picture! It's priceless!

    Re: Chicago Zoos

    No problem, python.princess. I put them there to share. I was out in Chicago last year on a business trip and I had to go to both zoos as well as the Shedd's Aquarium. You don't want to miss the Shedd's Aquarium either. Wonderful display of fishes as well as various reptiles, amphibians, etc. I try to go to every zoo in my state and neighboring states yearly.

    I haven't been to either of those zoo's in a few years. I can't remember which one I like more...

    Every one of those photos is very nice. Most of them are good enough to be featured in a magazine or some other venue.
