This week’s theme is: Photograph
with camera’s click
an instant of life captured
memories preserved
I received a new camera for Christmas, a Nikon D5100! Hoping to hit the photo memes hard over the next few months as I figure out all of its bells and whistles.

Oaken Circle went to the Pittsburgh Zoo & PPG Aquarium today. We wanted to get a group photograph at the adopt-an-animal sign with our name on it for adopting the polar bears last year. Then we went on to see a sea lion training session, a baby sea otter, a baby gorilla, and, of course, the polar bears!

I have a habit of getting started on projects around midnight, and working on them until they’re either done or I can’t see straight. A photo album for the website was last night’s project. I think it’s finished, for the moment.

They learn early to squawk. Taken on the shore of Lake Ontario back in June, coming home from the Tim Minchin concert.

Bald Eagle at the National Aviary. Last Thursday, I spent the day there, from several hours before they opened to a bit after closing.

Playful polar bear at the Toledo Zoo. He carried the ball up to the top of the waterfall and then threw it down. He went splashing down after it and leaped into the pool to catch it again. I must have spent an hour watching him. Many more photos of him at the flickr site.

Bald Eagles
Originally uploaded by otterblossom
We’ll see how this works, I just linked my wordpress and my flickr accounts. Now I should be able to spotlight some of the photographs I’m most proud of, more than the little sidebar stream.
Here are the bald eagles at the National Aviary in Pittsburgh, from my post birthday trip.
