Pug Mark Park

I'm back!!! I got up at 5 am to leave by 5:30, so we can be in McKinney by 6:30. I met a group of photographers and we went to a rescue home for big cats!! Pug Mark Park is the home of 3 Bengal Tigers, a lioness and a VERY old camel. I had two hours of shooting time with the animals. It was the most amazing thing I have ever been to!!! I was standing right at the cage, my lense was IN the cage. It was funny to watch, there would be a group of photographers all at the fence shooting as quickly as we could and as the tiger or lion got to the fence, we all took a giant step backwards. We weren't allowed to touch the animals, or I would have been!! I could touch the camel and he was so soft. Poor thing was so old, he could hardly move. It was a very exciting morning. Here are pictures of the animals. I have added some of my unedited photos from the shoot today on my photo hosting site http://cjphotography.dotphoto.com
