Wildlife Prairie Park

My mom and I decided to go to Wildlife Prairie Park and get some excersize and see if I could get any good photos! It was a really nice day to go to the park. They're redoing a lot of the exhibits, but we didn't mind the dust. I was really wanting to get some good ones of the wolves (my favorite animal), but they stayed pretty far away in the shade most the time. Overall, I really enjoy going to WPP. It's not like a zoo, it's more like a sanctuary for all the natural Illinois residents.

A Trip to the Peoria Zoo

Today, I convinced my mom to go with me to the Peoria Zoo. It was a bright, sunny day and I hadn't shot any animals besides our own dogs in a while. It cooled off a bit while we were there, but it wasn't too bad. I was hoping some more of the animals would be out and about, but I still got some great shots. I think my favorite is the lion and his lioness. I spent a lot of time waiting for him to pick his head up. The lioness yawned a lot, but he just laid there asleep.
