Roda’s Critter Connection Challenge – November 27, 2017
….thanks to Roda for hosting The Critter Connection Challenge
I went back to my photos from my last Toronto Zoo visit. I loved this amazing Red River hog. They can be found in west and central Africa, as well as Madagascar.

Dogs, Dogs, Dogs…..
….what’s more entertaining than a dozen super energetic Super Dogs?
In the summer I saw, for the first time, the Super Dog Show at the CNE. I was sitting pretty far back from the arena and I didn’t have my zoom lens with me so most of my shots were distant and often not very focused. It was also very dark in the arena and the dogs were highlighted with special lights and spot lights.
A couple of weeks ago when I went to the Royal Winter Fair with my father, he really wanted to see the Super Dog Show, so I went again. It was very different this time. It wasn’t dark, we sat much closer and I had my zoom lens with me. It was, however, still difficult to get clear shots of the dogs because they moved so quickly through the race course.
Here are a few shots that I managed to get that I’m somewhat happy with:
These last two shots are probably my favourites.

Hard to imagine that these beautiful animals are probably one of the most dangerous critters on earth.

….at the at Royal Winter Fair
One of my favourite presentations at the fair this year was the mini show put on by the Medieval Times cast. The costumes, the pageantry and the beautiful horses were delightful and a challenge to photograph. I’m not sure why but we chose to sit on the side of the arena with a big pillar in the middle of the barrier surrounding the show area. Despite this obstacle I managed to get some interesting shots. I hope you enjoy them as much as I did taking them.
