19th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Mother Gorilla and her Baby

On my way back to Houston, after photographing the SpaceX facility in Boca Chica, Texas, I decided to stop by the Gladys Porter zoo looking for photo ops. This mother gorilla and her baby had just finished their breakfast and mom decided to catch a few rays while "baby" continued munching.
