Go to the zoo today, find the Silver back gorilla doing what he does EVERY TIME I go to the zoo. Sleeping the day away. No walking, no running, no movement at all. Just sleeping. Thanks buddy. Glad I wasted time to come see you.
Through the viewfinder I take a few shots. They look like this:

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

So I come home upload all my photos to my PC. Get to the big sleeping waste of my time gorilla and zoom in to see how it looks......

Oh my....

This dude wasn't sleeping. This bad a** mamma jamma was eye balling me the whole time.

Thanks for your time.

JB.

Gear: Yes.

I'm getting more of a "why don't you put down the camera and come down here and play with me" look. But by "play" he really means rip the limbs off my body and use my head for a soccer ball.


Gear: Yes.
