I went to the San Diego Zoo in 2011 and took this batch of photos — since I recently finished writing about my trip to San Diego, I wanted to include this quick post before moving on to other destinations. I remember this trip so fondly, running around like a big kid with my camera, documenting all the animals. If you find yourself in San Diego, I promise it’s worth the splurge. Tickets appear to be $52 for adults and $48 for children at the time of this posting in August 2017 (here is a Groupon deal for $39 tickets). I look forward to returning someday myself!

(Apologies for the lack of descriptions as I went on this trip pre-blog and don’t have notes on the animals I photographed — but if you like wildlife, I think/hope you’ll enjoy them just the same.)

San Diego Zoo, I am so impressed by you!
