Adventures do not have to be to faraway places and one great local destination Ive found to see and photograph wild animals is only a short distance away from me at the local Zoo in Milwaukee County. I am very fortunate to live only about ten miles from one of the finest zoological attractions in the country, the Milwaukee County Zoo. It is the home for more than 1700 mammals, birds, fish, amphibians and reptiles of over 350 species. Photographing and viewing these magnificent animals from around the world will increase awareness and appreciation of their importance in our world.
