Washington, D.C.
Whether or not you knew it, you've been eagerly awaiting my turrist photos of D.C. Lucky you. I've posted them below.
I'm trying to do them in order. The shots from the zoo may not be, simply because I was wandering around in circles for much of it. But the afternoon tour shots will be chronological because I want everyone to understand just exactly how far I walked on Friday afternoon.
Except this one is out of order. But I promised it to you a week ago. So it's late, more than anything else.
And now, on to the Zoo.
These are the cheetah babies that were born last spring. It's amazing. Growing up in captivity, they're all very blah about the whole "people are staring at us" thing. But then, maybe it was the whole mid-morning naptime that made them so unconcerned.
Later that afternoon I went back to their enclosure to say good-bye.
The baby panda was also napping. He's sleeping up a tree.
Let me make that clearer for you. He's sleeping. Up. A. Tree.
I also saw all the other big mammals, but will only bore you with
Gorilla Attitude
and
Tiger Eye
(If you click on the picture, you will see he is looking directly at the camera. He also lifted his head at one point and looked me full in the eye, but I was shooting in the extreme zoom mode and was so excited that the picture is all jiggly.)
And now, I'm goin' to breakfast. My friend Paul is in town (briefly, everso briefly) and he's buying breakfast before heading out to his next gig.
I'll post the monuments and memorials when I get back.
