PRELUDE TO 'THE TRIP'



The flamingo chicks at the National Zoo are starting to hatch - I've attached a few shots that I grabbed the other day.
We are going to the Zoo this coming Saturday, so there will be better pictures coming, including new ones of Tai Shan, just to mention one of our critter friends down there!
BTW, I got one of my flamingo pictures published in the latest issue of Schmaps, a tourist-oriented folder/
booklet that showcases some of the more prominent attractions in the D.C. area. Google "Schmaps" - it might be on there.

Lone Beastie mom and calf


And this calf sure was having a good time kicking up it's heels.


There were a few Boonies there also and the calf had a rip-roaring good time chasing after them.

Not sure but from the reflection I'm guessing Warties


Quickly followed by a Impala buck.
