AA Trip to the Bronx Zoo! - Update

[Menagerie]

Patience, grasshopper!

Do you have some I can have?

Do you have a Gmail account?

I tried uploading these photos to Webshots and Shutterfly, but gave up because it was taking too long. They're HUGE (1.5 - 4 MB each), and there's 45 of them! I could make them smaller, but I still couldn't post them all to AA.

Any other online photo sharing suggestions? Webshots used to be fast for uploads.

You've got a pm! I have so little experience with photo sharing. I know photobucket takes a long time. Sometimes I get a ton of pics from my sister-in-law using oto-foto or snapfish.

Here's a suggestion Andy, it's lot of work but it is well worth it. Reduce the originals and save a copy in the smaller format. This will allow you to post the smaller pics and retain the originals.

There aren't a lot of photo storage sites that allow uploading pics that large or even allow that much storage space on their site.

The other suggestion is to zip em up and then send via email.

WAIT!!

I'm not computer smart!

What if I cannot unzip them??

Look for one by Halloween--I need to write one

 

[Jchillin]

Have no fear! I'm sure you can be walked through unzipping.

Bill, I have trouble zipping my jacket, much less zipping files!

Anyway, I finally got these photos uploaded to Webshots.
Enjoy!

Great pics...loved the Fly River! It would appear that a good time was had by all.

Aw! I am so sad that I couldn't go!

Looks like you guys had so much fun! Great pics Andy!

Awesome pictures! The Bronx Zoo looks way cooler than the Point Defiance Zoo!

 

[Menagerie]

Wow! No wonder it took you so long to post that--you put comments on the pics! Go take a nap--you deserve it!! BTW~where is the red panada?

 

[QTOFFER]

Thanks!

I especially enjoyed the monkeys and their antics.

It took so long because Webshots forces you to upload one file at a time unless you download their software. So, I broke down and loaded their software and all the spyware that probably came with it. I was able to upload the whole mess as a batch - licketysplit!

I'll stick the red panda pic in there when I get home tonite. I wasn't too happy with it because he was facing away from me, and the monorail barely slowed down enough for me to get a shot. The zoo as a whole was fantastic, but the monorail was pretty disappointing - most of the animals were so far away, and the operators didn't stop to let passengers get a good look.

As a long time visitor, I was surprised at the quickness of the monorail ride. In the past, the guide(s) would give a chance to view the animals and not rush through it. I believe the addition of the silly recording played in part in it as it is fairly new.

Wow, those are really great photos! Thanks for sharing. It looks like it was a blast

I'm the big dork, and when it's humid, I'm an even bigger dork.
