Description
This big fella is a Galopagus (sp?) Tortoise who lives at the St. Louis Zoo. Nettie and I took a walk through Forest Park and capped it off with a visit to the zoo. I haven't had ANYTHING to photograph recently so it was really nice to get out for a while.

I guess I bored him because in the middle of his portrait session he let out a huge yawn. I love his "teeth."

To travel light I took the D40 and 18-200mm lens instead of one of the "big guns." Every time I use it I find I like it more and more.

Camera: Nikon D40
Lens: 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6
