August 20 2014

It has been over 3 months since my last upload of photos and commentary, so I'm going to do two posts for this update.  The first will cover the summer highlights, and the second post will include my favorite aerial shots from the previous 3 months.

To start this off, I'm going to include some shots from the Assiniboine Park Zoo.  I've worked in the park for 4 months now, and gathered some awesome pictures of the animals.  All the posted photos have been taken from a visitor's point of view, so if you like what you see, I'd recommend making a day trip out of it.

That's enough of the park photos.  I'll update the blog with some other events from the summertime before getting around to releasing the aerial photo dump.  Take care, and until next time, enjoy this Assiniboine Park sunset.
