The National Zoo in DC is a wonder,  I never get to see all I want in one visit.

    Wow, looks like you had a fun time!! Wish I could’ve been there, except I don’t think I would have gone in the reptile house!

    The last picture is SOOOO cute – the two exhausted boys, holding hands. : )

    Love,
    Sandy, Mom, Nana Sandy

    I love your photos! Especially those of the Cheetah and lioness. I love the lighting in them. Great artwork.

    I also love the zoo, but my baby girl is too young for this…

    Take care,
    Tracey
