This dinosaur had just roared at Tyler, our eight year old grandson. The dinosaur exhibit at The Portland, Oregon Zoo was pretty cool. The dinosaurs had hydraulic moving parts, including their eyes.
Having just seen so many Bald Eagles on the Olympic Peninsula, it was fun to see this one up close.
This is a White-faced Ibis. What a beautiful color.
Tyler discovered that he was the same height as a Sun Bear. A polar bear put on a pretty good show in it's pool.
This Dilophosaurus spit "poison" at viewers - the highlight of the day for an eight-year-old.

I love the new website. Tyler's photos are awesome. He definitely has a natural ability, although I am sure that your camera was very kind to him as well. Thank you for continuing to share your adventures with us.
