Lions, (No) Tigers, & Bears, Oh My!

Summer Day (Hot as blazes, in case you were wondering) at the National Zoo in DC practicing with the camera.  Wonderful time, Ok pictures.

The closest I could get to the Pandas without glass and 40 people between us

Hedwig's long lost cousin

Huge birds and loud little suckers

This just looks very uncomfortable...

Hakuna Matata...

I'm a little Teapot, short and stout

Love the turtles!

The biggest Sting Rays I've ever seen!

Not the best picture, but he grabbed a whole bamboo tree and decided to have lunch.  How cute is he!?
