It was great catching up with some old friends last week in San Diego. One of the highlights of their visit was a trip to the San Diego Zoo Safari Park! This was the perfect opportunity to play around with my new Canon 70-200L f/2.8 II lens. Some of "the mountains" of the day included a behind the scenes tour at Lion Camp, a meet and greet with Cliff the Tawny Frogmouth, and front row seats for the Cheetah run! Now if I could just find some time to make it to South Africa for a real safari...
