shame, shame :)

After all the helpful answers yesterday about Kitsnaps photos, I forgot to set one to post this morning. You’re all certainly good for my ego, so shame on me. :) But it’s okay, because my AWESOME WEB DESIGNER is telling me all kinds of nifty things that WordPress can do that I didn’t know about, and we are going to make Kitsnaps BIGGER! STRONGER! FASTER! Or something like that. This will be AWESOME. With AWESOMENESS on the side! (Actually, now that you mention it, I may have been watching Kung…

Snow Leopard at Dublin Zoo

kitsnaps: snow leopard

Until this past month I’d never caught more than a glimpse of the snow leopards at Dublin Zoo. They’re very shy and usually hiding in their den, but the colder weather has, I guess, brought them out. They are *so* gorgeous, holy beans. I must go back and haunt the zoo some more before the weather warms up, because I’d love to get some more pictures. Honestly, not all the Kitsnaps will be zoo pictures. It’s just they’re what I’ve got handy right now. Once I’ve got my act together…

Waldrap Ibis at Dublin Zoo

kitsnaps: waldrapp ibis

I love these birds. They’re so flamboyantly ugly. They’re terribly endangered, with apparently only around 500 left in the wild, and as with all endangered species, I’m perpetually grateful for not only the opportunity to see them at all, but for the conservation and preservation work that zoos all over the world do. It’s not especially easy to get a good picture of one through the glass, so I’ve been trying for, oh, two years now. This is my favorite so far, though I’ll no doubt keep going back for…

Red Panda at Dublin Zoo

kitsnaps: red panda

The red panda is the only mammal on earth whose babies are not significantly cuter than its adults. This is largely because a red panda is so absurdly cute, but also evidently because they’re so secretive about having babies that by the time even the Dublin Zoo found out they’d had some, the babies were already at least half the size of the adults. Perhaps a super-new one would be cuter than the grown-ups, but for the moment, well, here. Have some cute. :)

Misty Wolf at Dublin Zoo

Mizkit & Kitsnaps

This is a bit of a test to see how well this WordPress gallery works. I’ve long since concluded I’m never going to manage Project 365 (at least not for some years yet), but I’d like to try /posting/ a picture a day, anyway, even if I don’t take one daily. I’m sure I can auto-set it to post, which would help, but even if not, I can give it a stab. And that might help me make an effort to get out and take more pictures, which would be…
