I used a WATERMARK action by Wendyzine at Scrapbook-Graphics to mark my photos.

We have been to Great Adventure so many times this summer I can't even remember what trip number this is. These last 2 times that we have gone to the Wild Safari have been great as the animals have been crossing the road and getting near our car thus giving us a chance to see them up close and personal. I avoided the Ostrich though he came awfully close to us...within pecking distance. The giraffes were all out, as were the zebras. We really got a good look at the Red Ankolis and the Gnus. The black bears and the brown bears were all napping though I got a shot of a mother in her den, not a good shot mind you, a so-so one. Shooting pictures through the window is not good. I need a bigger zoom lens, too. My poor Canon Powershop is doing its best, but its 12x zoom is not far enough. I shouldn't complain. It has served me well during these last 3 years. I should start saving my pennies to buy a better camera next year.

I hope you enjoy the picts. :)

Hugs,

Another Great Adventure/Safari Trip (15 photos)

White Tailed Gnu

I am so jazzed up about this album that I am already on my 7th page on my travel album to the safari this summer. I chose Rough to the Touch because it has the most wonderful textures and old world feel that I was looking for. I want my pages to look different from each other yet have a cohesive look. To that end, I use the litho/sketch look, naturalistic element, alpha and vintage frames to tie it all together. The truth is that though I am the one designing the pages, they are so different than what I usually do that sometimes I feel like I am looking at someone's page. How cool is that? If I say so myself. :)

The White Tailed Gnu can no longer be found in the wild. Once down to only 100, they now number over 4,000 throughout protected reserves. They have a deep brown coat, stiff mane and a long light colored tail that touches the ground.
*Smallest of the gnu family at 3½ feet tall
*Both males and females carry horns
*Live in large herds near water
