Keep walking through the monkey house area and you are bound to find the Brookfield Zoo gorillas in a very interesting environment. You are up in the tops of the tree limbs and looking right at them.

Five Bucks





The herd at Cedar Park had at least five stags when I was there. That was the first time I saw five bucks without a photo of Lincoln!

Deer Closeup




Yes, the deer at Cedar Park Cemetery are indeed this tame in terms of not spooking with a person quite near. I did move gently and non-threateningly, but these are not superlong telephotos. I really was able to get up close to both does and stags.
