National Zoo

We didn't go to the beach this year, at least not yet anyway.  But we did get sneak down to the National Zoo.  It was the first time I have been there since my kids were around that it was not over 100 degrees.

These aren't generally photo trips for me, but I do take some snapshots.

The two most important birds in the country are represented.

The picture of the cheetah could have been better, but I got burned by the terrible battery level indicators. So, the picture I really wanted to make din't happen because the battery died before it materialized.

At the end of the night on the way home we had a short conversation with the Maryland Batman.  Unfortunately he was killed  in an accident only a few days later.
