Picture This!

It was a rough and bumpy ride on the Kilimanjaro Safari but lots of animals were out that day which made for an exciting time. Although Little Red really needs to stop fraternizing with poachers. Anywaaaay, after we exited the vehicle in an orderly fashion, I heard a Cast Member say if we took a right, we could see a gorilla. OK! I never knew that viewing area was there.

A few other folks were there as well and we were all trying to get photos of the gorilla who seemed to be watching us and thinking, Now what do you want? Barrie and I patiently waited for everyone else to get their photos and then we moved into the better viewing area to get some snapshots.

I love photographing animals. I'm sure you'll be seeing more of my animal pics and hearing all of my stories and Barrie's version of how I'm weird and talk to parrots. Yay me!

Here are my 2 favorite photos of this gorilla taken with the Canon Powershot S5 IS at f4, 1/60, ISO 400.

Wow, gorillas really are similiar to humans. He's got a twitchy eye just like my dad.

A moment later he was sound asleep and snoring, just like my dad. Actually, he reminded me so much of my dad that I asked him for money.
