I'm not big into zoos but daughter loves them. She remembers going to the Portland Zoo several years ago and was desperate to return. Last time around I hadn't yet had my knee replaced so I didn't wander around the joint with her. But this time she insisted I go with. Thanks to Scooter, I did. And thanks to my new digital camera I was able to capture some good pictures. Here are my five favorite.
I might be wrong but it looks like the frog is throwing gang signs at me.

One of these birds wet on me, Scooter, and my camera. Not fun.

This flamingo never moved from this position.
Looks kind of scary to me.
Aww...
