Spring snow at the National Zoo
Woke up this morning to a surprise snow fall. What better way to spend the day than at the local zoo? Many of the animals were out checking out the snow. The cheetahs were not happy. For several of them, this was their first snow. It was fun watching them place a paw in the snow and quickly pull it out and give it a shake.
An afternoon at the zoo
Tuesday was a cold, cloudy, winter day, so I went to the zoo. Any day is a good day for the zoo. But in the middle of winter, there are far fewer people. Many of the animals were out and I got some great shots. Standing around watching the Red Panda, I noticed a Robin having dinner on a nearby branch. He must have been very hungry because he let me get to within four feet and take pictures. He stayed around for several minutes allowing me to get some nice colorful pics. Even at the zoo, not every shot has to be an exotic critter.
Happy 2013
Another Honor Flight
On Saturday 13 October, the Honor Flight Network and U.S. Airways brought another group of WW II vets to Washington, DC. This group of vets arrived from Wisconsin. After spending the day touring the monuments and memorials in and around Washington, the Vets and Guardians returned to Ronald Reagan airport for the flight home. As an added bonus, volunteers often entertain the troops while they await their return flight. For this flight, the Radio King Orchestra’s PinCurl Girls – performing in the style of the Andrews Sisters – provided the entertainment. Click HERE for more Badger Honor Flight images.
