I was so surprised to see green buds so early.
Buds – P52 week 3
I’m not big on resolutions but I thought the new year would be a perfect time to start a project 52. I don’t think there will be a theme, just one personal picture a week that I feel like sharing. It’s been really cold so I tried to make some frozen bubbles. These are the leftovers of a burst bubble.
Trying to take advantage of the last beautiful fall days – when the soft sunlight makes the leaves that are still left on the trees glow. It was a bit chilly but so beautiful.
Hiking up the hills at the park.
Beautiful golden leaves.
We finally found the pond!
The backdrop was to beautiful not to take any pictures.
Looking towards Windham Peak.
Three miles into the hike they are still running!
How lucky am I – I got to photograph the elephants at Bailiwick Ranch & Zoo. The zoo itself doesn’t have elephants (they do have a tiger and lots of other exotic and domestic animals, go check it out!) but a traveling show came to visit for a few days. So exciting! At first it’s a bit surreal to stand right next to such a big animal without any fences or barriers in between. This was a totally new experience for me, I’m not used to photographing events or such big animals. But I love a challenge and this was FUN!
Waiting patiently for her bath before the show.
Enjoying her bath. If you look closely you can see she is snacking too.
Showtime!
Surprise shower for the owner of the zoo.
Everybody got to feed and pet the elephants. They really seemed to enjoy the snacks and attention. They are so gentle with their trunks.
Going for a ride. How cool is it to get so sit on an elephant. Unless you are only 3 years old then it might be a bit scary.
