Wonderful shots, Paul. The babies have vivid markings that are really pretty looking. The first shot of the family, is really nicely composed and quite attractive looking.

Thank you very much, Mike! These are water district ponds, I think the water is a bit too contaminated to eat the fish caught there

The babies are so cute and look completely different from their parents.

Terrific shot, Shalu. Very nicely captured.

Back when I was teaching, I'd take a few of my kids down to the water district ponding basins. We never caught anything very big, but we did catch eating size bass. As far as I know, everyone of us lived after eating them. :mrgreen:

Some more from the tropical house.

Fischer's Turaco (Tauraco fischeri)

Sclater's Crowned-pigeon (Goura sclaterii)

These are a couple of beautiful birds, Lester. Very nice shots.

Yes it sure was nice to see those hatch-lings.

Wow Shalu...that's absolutely gorgeous!!
Check your math on the magnification you were shooting at. Actually is was only 120mm and not 1200mm. :-P :-P
