Acting A Little Squirrely A trip to the zoo is always fun and as I soon discovered, a bit challenging. It seems like the smaller the subject is for the camera, the more skill and patience it takes. These little antelope ground squirrels (and I mean little, no more than 6 inches) would scamper about like big mice, only to sit still for a second or two. Just when get the lens pointed in their general direction, they were off again, like a woman late for a shoe sale.. You had no idea which way they would turn and run either. At least you know where the shoe department is. Here are a few other photos from a recent trip to the Houston Zoo.
Sam and Friends Sam and Friends was Jim Henson's first television show, a five-minute show that aired twice daily on WRC-TV, the NBC affiliate in Washington, D.C. The show ran from May 9, 1955 to December 15, 1961. In 2010, these 10 characters joined Kermit at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History in Washington D.C.
