Animal Fascination (Featured November 16, 2005)

Hi Sharon and Bob...What wonderful photos of these beautiful animals! Some of these guys are so comical, like the Penquins. I like the babies and their Mom, and I love the little lion cub. I also love the shots of the Siberian tiger, the zebras, and lions. Great way to shoot these animals!!! hugs and love and Happy Birthday Bob!, Barbara

Loved the trumpeter swans!! Also all the tigers. They are soooo beautiful. Although I prefer my animals in the wild these are great photos! Keep up the good work! I see by the other letters that it must be Bob's birthday. Happy birthday Bob!! Hugs, Flo

Dear Sharon, speachless after viewing your magnificent photos of these precious creatures, but how did you get my picture on # 13?? # 43 is a poem, and of course all the others are astonishing, you are the best!! A friendly hug/Kathy

said katifelkai 2004.11.17 at 02:31:43 PST

Hi Sharon. Great photos. It's almost like being there live. I like the Golden Breasted Starling, as well as all the others. Thanks for sharing your great gift of photography. Dwight

said sammah 2004.11.17 at 05:17:58 PST

Hi Sharon and Bob! What a wonderful wildlife report - with a slideshow, you imagine walking from one place to the other (quite big distances, I guess - to the benefit of the animals).Technically perfect pictures, as usual (and special mention for the precise captions!!!) - but much more: they express a true sympathetic feeling for these creatures! Difficult to give special mentions, which anyway are personal; but I liked particularly: Rhinoceros, bathing Tiger, Brown Bear (with such a friendly expression...), Lion cub, Gazelle (!), and so many pretty "duos", as e.g. the Black Swans, the Sea Lions, the White Storks. - Overall: top class - cordial congratulations! - Thank you, Bob, for the nice "Thanks&quot ;-card, and idem words! Hope you had a really special day!? - With love Kaethi and Henri

said oertlif_2 2004.11.17 at 06:48:23 PST

What a wonderful album! I have been to the Louisville Zoo numerous times and was sad to see that the baby warthogs have been relocated to another zoo. So many pictures that it is hard to pick a favorite. I did love the laughing elephants, but they were all exquisite. Belated Birthday blessings to Bob!!

said bluegrassgirls 2004.11.17 at 08:06:37 PST

Bonjour Sharon and Bob,i've just view the slideshow and...it just took my breath away!!Frankly i have no words to describe the quality and the composition of these amazing shots except that i greatly admire your patience (it must have taken hours of waiting !!)This album have to be featured!!Have a wonderful day.Luc p.s:Happy Birthay Bob!

said kligon 2004.11.17 at 08:30:26 PST

Hi Sharon! Thanks for sharing these wonderful photos - makes me homesick for the St. Louis Zoo. You have some stunning shots - the composition and lighting are superb in many of them. I think my favorite is the one of the zebras. Warm greetings from California and a Happy Thanksgiving, Beth

said bvillanyi 2004.11.17 at 08:33:26 PST

Awesome! I took the slideshow tour yesterday and decided I have to have them all:) Today I downloaded the birds and soon I will come back for the rest. I am in awe of the photographs! GOD BLESS, Betty

said faithbw 2004.11.17 at 09:37:15 PST

You never cease to amaze me, Sharon! From the splendor of Colorado in fall to this wonderful collection of animal photos! A real beautiful album - I know it's not so easy to capture animals in the right pose! I really enjoyed walking through this album and downloading, as I do with all your other albums. I won't use the cliche "sharing&quo t; - seems I am doing a lot of "taking&quot ; from each and every one of your albums. On the personal side, thanks for your recent guest book entries. All hurricane damage repair including a new roof was completed a few days ago. Charley, Frances and Jeanne are history. Looking forward to more albums, as always.All my best toward the upcoming Holiday Season! Warm regards, bruno

said francismi 2004.11.18 at 08:17:23 PST

Sharon hi and many thanks indeed for your kind words on my albums, I'm chuffed to have an album featured and even more so that people such as yourself write to congratulate and express their appreciation. Very much enjoyed having a mosey around your albums (especially liked Animal Fascination!), great stuff too :) Regards, Atheana

said atheanaa 2004.11.19 at 08:55:13 PST

Back one more time, Sharon. Never made it back to Animal Kingdom before my Annual Passport expired. Guess my next attractions visit will be to the newly opened Cypress Gardens following their shutdown and reopening as a new park with more attractions for the younger set that never cared much about the offerings of the former park. By the way, I downloaded your No.50 - and, please, don't take this wrong - some color adjustment brought out the natural browns of the gazelle and the rocks in the background. Hope you don't mind my monkeying around with one of yours - this is the first and probably the last time. All my best, bruno

A true safari Sharon! An example is P1060103 Grevy's Zebra. Love the way you take these photos of yours. THanks a lot - have made some very nice downloads. Greetings from Portugal, Antti; by the way its cold even here in Nazare, Portugal, not freezing but -0,5 celsius just the other day outside our village, but with that humidity - HUH! Well I love the fresh air.

said anttiolavi 2004.11.21 at 13:35:43 PST

Oh WOW Sharon, what beautiful pictures of the animals and birds. What fun it must have been to be able to visit these Zoos as well as take the pictures. I was able to visit the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo some years ago but unfortunately didn't have a digtal camera then. You have done a fantastic job of putting this album together and hope it gets featured. Thanks for sharing. Sally - mamaw2 and grannie0

Hello Sharon and Bob! Henri has already written in this extraordinary album, I just come back to 'underline' what he has written and to have another look, we love such wonderful zoos!!! Your pictures are so excellent and all looks so real, it's as if we would see the animals moving! You captered so well their expressions! THANKS!!! Käthi

Hi Sharon and Bob! These animal shots are amazing and so natural that it is hard to believe they were taken in a zoo. Every shot is a winner and I can't even start to pick favourites. Thankyou for sharing this beautifully presented album. Have a great Sunday.. Gladys.

Hi Sharon and greetings from the Bluegrass state. Just stopped in to wish you and your family a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. I enjoyed looking at the animals, great photos too. If it isn't to much trouble, and you don't mind, I would like to add your email for my Webshots list... Thanks Darrell WorldWide1001@aol.com

said worldwide1001 2004.12.21 at 06:41:33 PST

I am a complete sucker for animal shots, your photos are so fun and love the wonderful close ups you managed to get! Of course, always prefer to see these animals in their own free habitat but since we seem to be killing that off quickly sadly Zoo's are what we have to be thankful for in possibly saving the species! I love wildlife and find it so special to watch let alone be able to capture the photos you have of these wonderful creatures! Great job, wonderful quality just a fun album to flip through! There were so many shots that i fell in love with but I will just mention a few that really made me smile! The pygmy hippo was so adorable, white rhino's are beautiful specimens, the many giraffe ( sky grazers) head shots, and that fabulous lion cub! Crowned crane as well, oh I could go on......! Many thanks for sharing and warm wishes to you and have a lovely day full of smiles, amy :)

said kester110 2005.01.27 at 00:14:01 PST

Thank you for your superb collection of photos. Many created ideas, and helped in my research and design projects. As mature student and during 2004 I achieved a BA degree in art and design. I achieved this by producing garden ornamentations based on birds and animals. Although now retired I have turned my attention solely to photography painting, I will be well pleased if my results turn out to be, any where as good yours. I will be constantly reviewing your albums as the content of them set a standard for me to achieve. Thank you Paul.

Hey, thank you very much for the comment on my Disney World album. I really enjoyed your Animal Fasination album. The photos are so sharp and vivid, I love the upclose shots. I wish I could have zoomed in more on some of my subjects in the Animal Kingdom, but my camera does'nt have a very good zoom. This was the first album I looked at, I can't wait to look at all the others. Thank you, and have a Happy Easter! Michelle from Virginia

You do such GREAT ZOO PICS, I loved this album, and Animal Expressions, and especially "Catch the Gleam in Their Eye", I keep coming back to see what new animal pics you have to share, the zoos should be hiring you to take pics, you capture the animals so well. Jeanie from Tacoma, WA

said hilltoppooh_3 2005.05.10 at 22:32:49 PDT

Clarification, your picture entitled "Speke's Gazelle having a snack", are you sure, it looks like a Gerenuk, that's the only species I thought that stood up like that?

said hilltoppooh_3 2005.05.10 at 22:42:05 PDT

Yes, I checked the site at the St. Louis Zoo, and they have both the Gerenuk and the Speke's, but if you cut and copy this URL, you'll see that it's the Gerenuk that stands and eats like your pic... http://www.stlzoo.org/animals/abouttheanimals/mammals/hoofedmammals/gerenuk.htm

said hilltoppooh_3 2005.05.10 at 22:47:52 PDT

Sharon, Thanks for sharing your photo's of the St. Louis Zoo. They are fantastic. Your photos should be shared throughout the St. Louis Media and also the travel centers across the United States. You really captured the essence of the Zoo. Thanks for sharing. If you want you can check out our albums of the Zoo. They do not compare to your excellent work, but we think it is a nice collection.

Hi Sharon; it's a great pleasure to visit your site. Wow ....I hardly believe my eyes....you and your husband are very great photographers.

We both love gardens and animals. I would love to go to America and see these zoos and wonderful gardens. Thank you for cheering up a wet winters day in Australia. Please visit our other site Jack001100 when you have afew moments I am sure you would enjoy the animals that my husband has taken picyures.

said redwing1102 2005.06.12 at 03:21:18 PDT

One question...what camera do you use? Just curious. Many of the shots from Glacier are so familiar! Also many of the scenes from St. Louis' Zoo and Yellowstone all look so nice and inviting. What time of year were the shots taken in Glacier? I'm planning to take another trip there in a few weeks and was just wondering. LaVonna Betz

Dear Sharon, I just love animals and this album is just so sweet! I love the tiger and Lion with his cubs, the pygmy hippo, the swans, and the playing wart hogs, well as you can tell, I think it is a great album. Thank you for visiting Teddy's album, and yes, he is Bonnie's husband, haha. He is such a grubby little boy, if Bonnie lived with him, she would probably tell him to clean up his act or get out, she is such a little lady. Hope your week is going well! Candy

Beautiful album very well done! The animals are very well captured to show their many faceted sides. The snoozing hippos are something I have never seen before. I have a new commuity album called WebShooters. I find it to be very refreshing when you come across the image of the photographer. Photographers are always on the other side of the lens. Do you have a self protrait of yourself that I may put in this album? If you do and it is ok could you point me to it in your albums. If you would like to send me one.. send to eswinford.webshots@gmail. com I hope to "see" you soon. Thanks for sharing your albums. Eti from Florida

Hi Sharon, Thank you for your entry in "My East Blean" album it was very kind of you, I seem to have a lot of patience that sometimes is rewarded and I find taking pictures is very addictive. You always want to get a better shot so keep trying. I am still fairly new to it though, so have lots to learn still. I'm not surprised you make the most of you season tickets to the botanical gardens I'm sure I would too. I decided I wanted to look at one of your animal albums this time and I am stunned by some of the shots you have managed to get. You must have an amazing long lens and the Zoo's must be set up to make it easy to take some stunning pictures like you have here. The animals too all look very happy which is so important and the main thing. Hope you are not still struggling in 100 degree heat, that is just a bit too hot :-/ Have a good weekend Jill

Beautiful! Beautiful! Simply beautiful, Sharon except for the Warthogs They are simply ugly unless you are another Warthog I guess. Nevertheless, they are extremely interesting creatures. I've always loved animals and zoos. For a college thesis, I designed a new zoo for Cincinnati, Ohio. At the time (1965) I was a senior architectural student at the University of Cincinatti. I appreciate the way you work with the camera to isolate the zoo environment in order to focus on the animals. I try to do the same thing in my own wildlife photographs. Sometimes a part of an animal says more than the whole thing. Thanks for sharing. Bill cable (heyburn3)

said heyburn3 2005.09.20 at 17:21:22 PDT

Oh no Sharon.. lol My favorite animal at the zoo. I love them so much. I cannot wait to get my hands on these. I just started laughing when the webshots popped up on my screen & I saw that animal I cannot spell. Thanks for this one. I will love it I know. I am an animal nut. My husband John says there is a name for that. I forgot it though. It is where humans think animals are like humans. I love my dogs & all wildlife. OK I'm nuts. Love, Brenda

Hi Sharon & Bob! I love the orangutan shots! The baby is so cute and it's funny to see the mom's expression. We've all been there! I would love to know how close you got to the hornets nest. The Golden Breasted Starling is beautiful but I can't believe that Bob would have a starling photo of any kind! The Reticulated Giraffe and the Male Ostrich photo is hilarious:-)))) The Lion Cub is so precious. Another wonderful album with fabulous additions! Love, Jane

Hi Sharon, Congartulations on your featured album. What great animal parade! I particularly like the cover shot. What a helarious expression! I also very much like the shot of the white rhinos. It's perfect! I especially like the very unusual perspective and that it is of two rhinos perfectly framed and executed, not just one. Greetings from Florida, Paul.
