Everyone knows I like a good zoo. Animals are fun to photograph. I'd never been to the Brandywine Zoo in Wilmington, Delaware even though it's only a few minutes from home, so we decided to finally check it out. It's a very small zoo, but it's a lot of fun. You can get up close with the animals and it it's easy to see all of it in a few hours. Of course, we chose the hottest day ever to visit, but we survived even if a few of the animals looked very tired due to the oppressive heat too.

This condor is amazing. It just sits right up at the fence watching people and showing off.

The capybara looks tired today

Bald eagles never cease to impress

I think we caught the river otters at nap time

This burrowing owl’s eyes are burrowing into me!
