Sunday morning the forecast looked good, 50's F and sunny.
So I made a quick decision, loaded a few cameras, and headed in to the St. Louis Zoo.
We are just a few days from the shortest day of the year, and the sun stayed low as it headed for an early evening.
Zoo staff had made a major effort to dress the grounds up for the Holidays.
Camera was a Pentax K10d digital body and 18 - 55 mm lens, set to asa 800 and +0.7 exposure compensation.
I kept it hand held with available light.
