site that greets a visitor to the zoo.

| San Diego Zoo. Animals at the zoo are kept in fairly open
enclosures with nothing more than a low wall and a moat that acts as a
psychological barrier to most animals. This was the first time I was back
to the zoo in 5 years and many of the enclosures have had a thin
wire fence added to the tops of the wall. It seems that many of the animals
have discovered it is easy to get out. Of course this now makes it very
difficult to get an interesting photo especially with the Realist camera.

| San Diego Zoo. Polar bears in for a swim in their new enclosure.
To help add some variety to their life, the keepers will on occasion throw
in different colored balls, hid raw fish and large blocks of ice.

While I was shooting here another couple showed up in full camera attire.
The wife went to the other side of the enclosure and acted as spotter for
the husband taking pictures. They communicated over these new portable
radios.

By the time the crowd at the window thinned out and I got down front, the
bears quit swimming.

| San Diego Zoo. An Aloe plant in bloom. The zoo is actually
one of the worlds largest botanical gardens with plants from all over the
world. Because San Diego is an irrigated desert, they try and get plants
from Australia and areas of Africa that have low water requirements.
