Zoo in Taiwan

I took these pictures at a Taiwanese zoo with my high school friends half a year ago.

Actually, I don't really like to go to zoos because as you can see from these pictures, they don't seem happy at all. I prefer a wild place over a place that uses cages to keep animals from escaping.

However, it is a good place for beginners to practice photography. They don't run away because they don't have too much room to move around...; {

So that's why I was there.

I used to spend a lot of time at this zoo taking photos for assignments with film camera, when I was 17 years old. I used to like zoos and going to the zoo because I was naive enough to believe that zoos will take good care of animals.

Apparently, they don't. and they won't.

So that's why I don't like it there. :{

Of course, zoos are a good place to go with children and a good place to allow children to learn about different animals.

Ok, no more talking. Time for photos now. ; ] Enjoy.

Hey, Who is That Guy?

I'm Not Happy

Yummy~~

Don't Come Close!!

The 6 pictures above were taken with fake manual zoom which means I used PS to blow these images up, so you can tell the quality is not so good.

They were too far away from me so my 50-150mm lens wouldn't work this time. Well, it doesn't work a lot of the time, but it's still good to have it. : ]

This is a cheap way to have a nice and close-up pic, but it's also a "cheat" way to get a pretty shot. But I think for poor people it is Ok, lol... ; )

Double-crested basilisk

They're really cute, aren't they? ;'') their lips make me want to kiss them.

Taiwan Bamboo Viper

It is a snake specimen. These kind of snakes are (were) very common to see around in the mountains of Taiwan. I hope it is still easy to see them now....

What The Heck Face

Mm~Smells Good

Hum! What!?

Runny Nose

Black and white ruffed lemur

These little friends are really x10 lovely and cute. They came very close to visitors and allowed us to pet them. We, people and lemurs, didn't wanna leave the spot, especially ME. ;P

They were holding against the fence very closely, inviting us to pet them. When we petted them they looked like they really enjoyed it. :] I'm happy they look like happy.

I think I'll go again for the lemurs, because they were too adorable. ;P

Wallpaper

I haven't visited this blog for a very long time. Not even the blog but also the school that I learn English from. ; P

I'm feeling ''a little bit" tired of learning English from a language school, so now I go to Laney college to explore printmaking which to me is the most interesting technique in fine arts.

I wanted to learn about printmaking since high school, but didn't get many chances to learn about it. However, I got a chance to do it now and I feel wonderful and happy.

These months are the happiest days to me since I have been in the U.S. I'm glad that I don't need to paint for my grades in order to get a scholarship, just for myself. :}}

Well, I'll put some printmaking that I just made from this spring semester next time. Now, allow me to change to a new topic.

These days, I made some wallpaper for people who love flowers. My skill of photography is not good enough but I want to do something for my blog and make something new, but I still hope people will like my photos. If you like it, feel free to download it. : }

please enjoy my photos!! :}}}
