No, we did all our work off blueprints. I need to go to the National Zoo to see what it looks like in person.

You should go if you get the chance. You could spend a full day easily, maybe even two. A lot of the exhibits have been redone in recent years.

Great group of zoo images Carol. Will be looking forward to seeing more. 
Thank you, Tom! We had been to the zoo a few years ago and we didn’t see nearly all of it this time but it was really nice.

Greg, I haven’t been to many zoos but this one is impressive. They seem to have a very deep commitment to the preservation of the species that are represented. The zoo also has a very large separate facility that is not open to the public where they have herds of animals for breeding purposes.

I was amazed that I managed to keep the little leopard’s face sharp. He was really moving. There were two of them and they were tumbling around in the branches non-stop.
I remember that you worked at the zoo in the past. That must have been a wonderful experience. It seems like it would be a very special opportunity.

Excellent set, Carol. 'Zoo photos' don't usually look as natural as this.

Thank you, Earl. I tried to keep the backgrounds in mind when I shot. It wasn’t easy because of the barriers and also there was a lot of foliage that got in the way.

Great set, Carol! Every once in a while our taxes go for something worthwhile.

Thank you, Mike. It is mind boggling when you consider the cost of everything that is free to the public in DC. I know our taxes must play a big part but I believe there are also substantial donations from wealthy patrons. However it happens, it is something everyone should take advantage of if they are able. There is no place quite like it.
