Today was a Zoo

[kengr]

A trip to the zoo that is...

After some initial calls and some crossed wires I met phinnia and seanersxp at the Oregon Zoo. We talked, we walked around for 3 hours, I took some pictures.

It was fun, but I'm bushed.

Links to the pics (mostly unedited) are below the cut.

(btw: some of gridlore's friends are in there)

I had to hold Seaners for my pic because he was rocking the stroller too much for phinnia too take a picture. :-)

And don't you *love* the look on hids face in that last pic!

Those are /gorgeous/. I have to especially steal that last one. :-)

It hit me after I posted that Seaners looks like a dead ringer for "Chucky" the evil doll from the horror movies. It's the eyes and the way his mouth is open.

Maybe we ought to get someone to make it into an icon. :-)

As for the other pics, the 29 pics use 15 meg of HD space. So if you want any, I'll have to email them one at a time or stick them on a Zip disk or a CF card.

Let me know which ones you want, because I'm going to start trimming them in a few days (I already trimmed the ones of us and the one of the grizzly)
