Ostrich in North Carolina Zoo

On 10th June 2007, we visited the North Carolina Zoo with good friends, Kevin, Lori, and Alexis. Going to zoo has always been one of our favorite activities. Photographing animal is hard since the animals are running around. If they are not moving, the angle and the lighting may not be good for nice shots. Some of the zoos have fences and nets between us and the animals which make photography very difficult. In North Carolina Zoo, the design minimizes the usage of fences and nets. Therefore, we would have much better chances to take some good photos.

When we pointed our cameras to this ostrich, it just looked at us. Ostrich has very good eyesight and maybe it is trying to check out what lenses we were using. Ostrich can run as fast as 40 miles/hour. So, if it decided to come over to take our cameras, we just had to surrender. Luckily, ostrich can not fly.
