Nature photos from my trip
Although it would have been nice to have seen the Golden-handed Tamarin I showed in my last post in its natural habitat of South America, I truly got a kick out of seeing it and other amazing creatures while at the Dallas World Aquarium last week.
It’s not only an aquarium but a combination of several open aviaries, rain forests, and tanks. I have mixed emotions when it comes to zoos and such but have to say the DWA is a remarkably well-maintained facility and the animals and birds appeared to be healthy and happy.
I do not use flash when I take nature photos and didn’t even think to ask the staff if I could. In hindsight I think it would have been OK to do so (and the quality of my photos would probably have been a lot better if I had used flash since we were indoors) but overall I’m pretty happy with how my pics turned out and hope you get a feel of how extraordinary the creatures were.

I’m back from a trip
I wasn’t able to blog about friends’ Bobby and Rosie sightings over the last several days but the Hawks seem to be doing well. They have visited the nest a few times and have maintained a strong presence in Washington Square Park.
I have lots of photos from my trip I plan to look through and post. Here’s a little “teaser” photo in the meantime. 🙂
