I hadn&#8217;t been there since 1995, so I figured it was time for a visit. That, and I wanted a chance to use my new camera. I would really like to get a good feel for it before I go on a more lengthy vacation. Taking a bunch of crappy photos wouldn&#8217;t be much fun, nor would not having a good grasp on how to properly handle the camera.<\/p>\n<p>So, if you click the picture above or <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nuxx.net\/gallery\/detroitzoo_jan2005\">this link<\/a> you can check out the whole photo gallery from that trip. Most of the photos aren&#8217;t so great, but some came out pretty well, I think. After picking through, I ended up with 167 total images.<\/p>\n<p>The photos which I find notable for either their quality and\/or content include:<\/p>\n<p>&middot; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nuxx.net\/gallery\/detroitzoo_jan2005\/DSCN0125\">Tiger<\/a><br \/>\n&middot; A Seeing Eye Dog puppy playing with the otters: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nuxx.net\/gallery\/detroitzoo_jan2005\/DSCN0095\">1<\/a> &#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nuxx.net\/gallery\/detroitzoo_jan2005\/DSCN0096\">2<\/a><br \/>\n&middot; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nuxx.net\/gallery\/detroitzoo_jan2005\/DSCN0149\">Snow Monkeys fighting over a stick<\/a><br \/>\n&middot; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nuxx.net\/gallery\/detroitzoo_jan2005\/DSCN0171\">Baby Elephant Sculpture<\/a><br \/>\n&middot; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nuxx.net\/gallery\/detroitzoo_jan2005\/DSCN0192\">Wanda, one of the two elephants to be moved to Columbus<\/a><br \/>\n&middot; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nuxx.net\/gallery\/detroitzoo_jan2005\/DSCN0216\">Giraffes visiting<\/a><br \/>\n&middot; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nuxx.net\/gallery\/detroitzoo_jan2005\/DSCN0248\">An Ass (I think)<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Click for more&#8230; Yesterday I woke up earlyish (for a Sunday) and headed out to the Detroit Zoo.
