Hi Everyone, below are some images we made from a recent trip to the National Zoo. It’s a great space and located inside DC, it’s a great location too. We were treated to a guided tour with Uncle Jon and Aunt Nancy… Although, looking at my images, I realize I didn’t take any people shots! I guess I was drawn in by the animals. Next time I’ll include a few homo sapiens.
At least I included a cousin…
The magnolia trees have been blooming the last couple weeks and are gorgeous.
We had the opportunity to see little Bao Bao play. She was born in August 2013. She will live in the Smithsonian’s National Zoo until she is four, when she will head back to China. Since there are less than 2,000 giant pandas in the world, each one is a treasure. Bao Bao and the zoo also welcomed a baby brother at the end of last year. Bei Bei will also live in the US until he’s 4.
She was very active (and hungry)!
The American Bison, looking rugged as always.
The big cats always capture our attention.
Even the medium sized caracal is majestic.
Ok, that covers our brief time at the zoo. Next up will be D.C.’s famous cherry blossoms.
