Hey everybody.

First of all, THANK you all, thank you all my friends new and old who continue to participate in these "Request-and-post" zoo trip journals. I really couldn't do this without having friends who actually LIKE what I do here on DA, and that gives me cause to keep doing it.

So, as you might have surmised, the shots are already up, here on friday night. Shots for a trip I said I'd be making this coming sunday.
The more astute among you will have noticed something is amiss.

Let me explain.
A number of factors have come to conspire against me, most of which I am not at liberty to discuss in the open.

So, long story short, my zoo trip for the weekend fell through.

But fear not, my good chums!
I am a man of my word, and I always keep my promises... It seems like a rarer and rarer quality to find in people, but I do make it a point to keep my promises.

The fact of the matter is that what you see me posting on DA is a mere fraction of what I'm capable of providing the community with.
I have not one but two "Potential Deviations" folders, and if I were to unleash their entire contents onto my page, my gallery would have well over 2,100 pieces.
Now, I really don't want to bug my friends and clutter up their inboxes, that and I want them to actually have time to appreciate what I DO post, and with the real lives people should and do lead outside DA, it's not always easy.
Still though, there are those who would say four deviations once-a-week is far too much as it is.

So, that being said, I dug into the vault, and I found a representative shot to provide everyone who requested a shot one of the animals they requested.

So, we have here:

Aww, I'm sorry you couldn't make it to the zoo. Whatever it was that interfered with your plans, I hope it's all sorted itself out. :hug:

Thanks for your concern, m'lady.

And, well... It's kind of an ongoing problem. But hopefully it will get wrapped up soon-ish.

Thanks so much for your care and concern, my lady love.

Aw... it's too bad that you weren't able to make the trip... but it's great that you have such an array of backups! Thank you for still following through with the requests!

But... LOL. I know what you mean about the 'over-posting' thing. I always fret over how much I'm posting and if others will think it's too much. I've never felt that you post too much though so no worries!

Well, sometimes the fates just conspire against you.
And it IS lucky I'm such a picture-hoarder, eh? :D

And thank you!
Sometimes I am worried I'm cluttering up my friends inboxes. It's good to have confirmation that I'm not. :D

I commented on the pic before I saw this journal; I guess I'm not very astute then :P That's a shame.

Well, I posted the journal about a second after you made that comment, so I really can't hold you accountable for that. :D
