Point Defiance Zoo

For those of you who don’t use Facebook, this post is for you.

The other day, my friend Roger and I went on a photography excursion to the Point Defiance Zoo in Tacoma.  It was a beautiful day and we took the trip top down in Rog’s Miata.  We thought we would be going on a day that would be less crowded and that we would avoid having to share the viewing space with lots of kids.  Wrong!

Still, the kids let us squeeze in to get to shots of the animals.

This guy looked like he hadn’t had his Starbucks yet!

The walruses are HUGE! This one liked to glide around on it’s back underwater.

It may not be that obvious, but once walrus is gliding underneath the other.  Did I say they were HUGE?

I believe this is called a guillemot from North Umberland.

Try staring into the eyes of the tiger for awhile.  Mesmerizing!
