Awesome Nature Pics

[Black DeNiro]

Beautiful pics Christine^^^^^

Oh, I know the problem of smells, the reason why I don't like to visit someone in hospital, but Zoo- no smell problem for me (thankfully), besides our Zoo isn't smelling at all, only the elephants maybe, but they are at another corner. It is more like a park, many people go there every day, to make barbecue or just lying in the sun, kids are doing their homework, a lot of playgrounds for kids and and and- it's a beautiful,quiet place

The Zoo is maybe 5mins to walk for me, so instead of drinking my coffee somewhere in town- I buy a coffe to go and watch the animals. A man is also there every afternoon, his job is to make a documentary about the Gorillas, he explained me lately alot..i.e. that they don't look in your eyes, so I've had to use a tripod and a moving toy on top of the camera to trick them..

Damn that sounds like a zoo i'd love to visit one day. The way you described it give me visions of beauty in my head. And the fact that it's a 5min walk for you is even more amazing. If I was there, I would go every chance I get. And the work you did with the tripod and the toy were great ideas, you were able too get some wonderful shots. I will say this, you are a wiz with the camera Christine.:smt023

Love your Additions, Christine ^^^^

And I'd love to meet you there! We four, Tammy , Bliss, you and me in the Zoo- this would be great!:smt081

Animal photography is definitly a question of patience, time, but it's a nice hobby (btw- Thank you), yes the place I live is really fabulous, the best place I've ever lived:smt045

You know, our places of recovery/ parks are very small (compared to US), but the people appreciate and live with it.

Yeah, that sounds like fun. Will we have that cheese and wine you promised us.lol From what you tell me, where you live sounds like a fabulous place. As far as our parks being bigger goes. Alot of times bigger isn't better. I hate being around too many people, I mean its cool sometimes but other times you just want to feel comfortable. You know what I mean?:smt003

You think I would spoil you guys just with cheese and wine, when you are here in Switzerland??? NOOOO..I would spoil you with a full swiss meal, of course!


Aperitivo
Veuve Clicquot Ponsardin brut with strawberries in ice-glasses

Appetizer
Tagliatelle with Chanterelles embedded in a creamy-dry white wine sauce and Bruschetta with fresh tomatoes and aglio

Entrée
Duett of Filet de boeuf and porc in a coat of parmeggiano, prosciutto di Parma (ham) and sage, baby carots and basilic potatoes and a salsa-dance of fresh, different herbals of the provence

Dessert
Tiramisu


I know, what you mean..I prefer small places with less people, too. Anonymity is good, but too much is bad. And everybody needs space..I love this place because of two reasons.
1. I reach everything I need within a 10 mins walk, all shops are around me, the airport is ten mins from me (by metro) and it's a green town
2. People are kind and you can talk to everybody

Awesome idea, Chris...I haven't been to the zoo in ages, and you all would be great to hang out with while we appreciate the animals.

Damn, a swiss meal sounds very tasty Christine(from start to finish):smt045. LOL I'll probably end up eating to much messing around with you. BTW We should all be so lucky to live in walking distance of everyplace we like to go(walking is a very go thing).

 

[Black DeNiro]

Wow! These are amazing shots of the gorillas Christine. The best I think by far.:smt045

Thank you....I think the last one is severely, in the way of substantial, powerful and aggressive, wild. The one in the middle is as I've observed them sometimes, how I was feeling them, lazy, bored, powerless and sad.
