Today was the first day of the season for the Maryland Zoo. It was also ideal zoo-going weather: sunny and in the upper 50s. Because we're members, we got to enter half an hour before the zoo officially opened - which turned out to be a great blessing, because it turns out that the zoo is free this weekend, and half of Baltimore had managed to jam themselves in by the time we left. But the first hour we were there was blissfully uncrowded.

I took a zebra photo that I really like:

(Of course, it's hard to take a bad zebra photo. They were madeevolved to be photographed.)

Alex was incredibly excited. She gave long narrations about each of the animals - what she thought they were doing, where their families might be, how they related to each other. We took a couple of short movies (46 secs, 1 minute 13 secs) of her narrations; I have embedded them below the cut, along with transcripts. I should note that there's not really much to see - it's all about the audio.
videos! )
(Also note that this is a Gratuitous Icon Post. Yay, GIPs!)

We had unusually good luck with the camera today.
