Cameron Park Zoo - Waco, TX

Yesterday we took a short road trip up 35 to go check out the Cameron Park Zoo in Waco. What a great little zoo. Not crowded, great exhibits, and great animals, and a wonderful photo opportunity. The only critique I have of this zoo is I wish the staff was a little more interactive. I would have liked to have seen the staff more visible out amongst the visitors educating and talking about the animals. I don't think we saw a single staff member all day except those keeping the grounds clean. Today's post is a poster I created for my daughter that she is going to hang in her room of the animals she saw. This poster was created by taking several images and doing 4" x4" crops around the faces to focus in on the eyes to give each animal there own personality. Also consider this a preview of images to come as most likely will be sharing the full images soon. In one visit to this zoo I was able to capture over 20 images I was very proud of. If you have visited this zoo and would like your own copy of this poster let me know.
