Geelong Throng visit Melbourne Zoo
Yesterday, Saturday June 13, some of the hardier ‘Geelong Throngers’ braved the cold weather to visit Melbourne Zoo. It was good to meet up with familiar faces again and have a look at those animals that weren’t snuggled up somewhere warm. I spent some time with Kathryn lphotographing animals and drooling over handsome men!! Anyway, came away with a few reasonable shots …..

The pigeon is about to get the fright of it’s life. It kept walking closer to the gorilla and, when it was in swatting range, a huge paw came out and swiped at it. This happened several times in a row. I think they were both having a bit of fun.
