A Day at the Zoo

Another lovely Saturday, late summer. I dare'd to commingle with the tourists and check out the Smithsonian National Zoo. As an information specialist, I felt it my duty to enrich myself with such experience. Besides, it was prime time that they feed the sea lions and herd out the pandas for all the strollers to see. Boy were there alot of strollers and strolling. As well as amateur photogs like myself, and people eating ice cream, which I might later. I prefer no M & M's in mine, thanks.

The smell at times was not so great. There was occasional disappointment with some animals being on the shy side. You have to look hard and annoyingly so, point them out, arm extended to your mates with lesser vision. And getting a good camera shot is not easy. This felt like the quintessential Zoo experience: tiring, but mildly exciting.
