A tribute to our guest. The panda cub at the National Zoological Park in Washington, D.C. (which is part of the Smithsonion Institute) has had his stay here extended another 2 years!
I was outside the display area with the rest of the visitors. I manuevered to the best spot I could and used my height (6'2") and my camera (Canon Rebel Digital SLR) to my advantage. The camera is digital but uses changable lenses like my old 35mm so I attached a zoom lens for closer shots, much better than the $75-$300 credit-card sized digitals most people use.
So cute! I lived in the DC area for about 4 years and we loved going to the National Zoo. The pandas were always sleeping when we went, though, LOL. Great pictures!
In my teeange years, I lived in Northern Virginia, and I was enthralled with the pandas. You could only find me watching them. The rest of the zoo? Never saw it.
I love Tai. I've been following him ever since he was born. I'm really looking forward to going to DC sometime to see him. Have you seen Mei Lan in Atlanta yet? I have a membership but haven't been there yet.

That is so adorable! Did you take that picture yourself? I enjoyed looking at it...and so does my three year old.
Great shots! Good job!
Great shots..Funny thing is I had already copied and pasted panda pics to use this week when I decided to check yours out..
Once again, thanks for capturing some great memories for us!

Nice shots. Happy Wednesday.
Those are amazing pictures. I have always loved pandas.
I had a great dream about panda when I was little. That dream made me kinda obsessed with that animal, for a while.
Love it that you post these pics. Thanks...
Glad to hear the announcement today that the zoo gets them for another two years! Great photos...
the panda express!! :) :) Happy WW!
I love Panda Bears, they are so cuddly, but then I don't think I'd want to cuddle up next to one. Lovely pictures
Good shots! I've never seen one in real life myself. I love the last one!
Lovely pictures. Lucky you to have been able to get such a good spot to take them - absolutely stunning.
She looks at home, pleased she is staying on x x x
If you hadn't posted the last picture, I would have sworn he was a stuffed animal!
What a beautiful creature.

Great photos. Everytime I've been to the zoo the pandas have been sleeping.
Marvelous shots. How wonderful that this beautiful animal will be there to be seen by children & adults for 24 more months. D :)
I think pandas are one of the most beautiful creatures on earth! Thanks for sharing.
