Mr LG and I have been to Melbourne a few times, sometimes for wedding anniversaries and sometimes just because. It's our favourite place to go on holidays. This year was my first time visiting the Melbourne Zoo. I love zoo's and it's always bummed me out that Brisbane doesn't have a proper one. The closest we have is Australia Zoo which is on the Sunshine Coast and while it is awesome, it still doesn't have all the animals that other zoo's have. The day we went the temperature hit 43 degrees (celsius - that's 109.4F, so you can imagine how hot it was!). So freaking hot! It was an awesome day though and I can't wait to go back again.
This poor guy was hiding in the shade.
I love this peacock photo because there is actually a wire fence between us. I used my manual focus to focus on the peacock and not the fence. You can sort of see it around his face - the little lines through the bokeh around his head is actually blurred fence.
My favourite zoo animal is the otters. They weren't in their enclosure when we were there which was sad. I also like red pandas. What's your favourite animal to see at the zoo?
Loved the little guy who landed on my shoulder while we were in the butterfly enclosure.
