D218 - Long night expoure

Tonight was the annual summer safari at the Akron Zoo. And while there was a good amount of of people indoors, the real fun was at night once the sun went sown. Here are two shots from the event, the first was a 5 seconds exposure and the second is about 15 seconds exposure.

D184 - Garden

It was a scorcher today, even at 9am. I was at the Akron Zoo's garden when the image below was captured. While there, I met a couple that had just moved back to Ohio from West Virginia taking note of the different flower names. Out of curiosity, I asked why they were writing down the names. They told me their new home came beautifully landscaped, but they didn't know what type of flowers were planted. So they were seeing how many flowers they could identify with all the ones listed at the zoo. It's looked as if they were on a very fun scavenger hunt. Sometimes Zoo are not always about the animals.

D113 - Zoo Fun

Flamingos, Penguins, and Lion. Today was a fun day at the zoo, Sara has been talking about going there for the past few days. While it was slightly cold out, the animal were pretty active during the time of out visit. I have been told that if you wear green shirts to the zoo the animals react to you because that is the colors the worker wear when they feed or clean cages. Below are a few captures from the visit.

Enjoy.

Iisha & Corwyn: Married!

Our good friends Iisha & Corwyn [CJ] are Married! They had a beautiful ceremony at the Grace Bible Church in Manchester, with not one dry eye as the vows were being exchanged. Everyone was touched by the emotional words of Iisha, as she spoke on how she felt when she almost lost CJ. CJ was seriously wounded in the war and had to spend months recovering in the hospital in DC. When he came back to Ohio, it was still a long road ahead. But you will see from the images, they are making amazing progress together.

After the ceremony, we went to the Akron Zoo Garden for pictures of the wedding party. Next, the party went to Guy's Party Center for the reception. Here are a few highlights from their wedding...



Perla and I thank you for giving us the opportunity to be a part of your amazing day.

Brian.
