First off let me say I should be back to fairly regular postings here. I have reached the ‘burn out’ stage of overtime and while there is another week or three to be offered by my employer, I am happy enough to just work regular hours.

December 26th, Boxing Day to most of the commonwealth nations but just ‘the day after Christmas’ here in the United States my sweetie-wife and I enjoyed a pleasant morning at the Zoo. (Mostly pleasant, I did develop a head and we cut it a little short.) Of course, I took photos and three of the 25 seemed worth sharing.

This is an Ibis of some species but as it was there holding down the enclosure where an eagle normally resides there was no plaque to tell us precisely which variety of ibis it is.

I really like this photo of the ibis because it has a real ‘Raptors in the grass’ feel about it.

An elephant made the cut this week. I just like the framing of the photo but for no particular reason.
