Baby Gorilla at the National Zoo 11/23/11

It is fun to photograph animals and a special treat to photograph the young ones. Take time to visit a zoo, with camera in hand, and spend a few hours for personal enjoyment.  We are fortunate to be within an easy driving distance to the National Zoo in Washington, DC.

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving. Dolores and I are very thankful that we can share our photographs with you.  Please share photographs from your favorite places in the comments for this post.

Hi Roy,  He is just too cute.  I think you may have found a new source for more great pictures.  Between flowers and animals - you have it down.
