Description of Pictures: Several visits:

(20060206) A return visit to see the cheetah cubs. They hardly look like cubs anymore, do they? The keeper mentioned that they would be sent away to other zoos in March and April of this year and then maybe the yard would start to have grass again.
(20060221) A visit with my neighbors Gail and Joel.
(20060320) A visit to the yawning lion.
(20060418) etc -- still more visits

Description of Subject Matter: This section is used on this site and may include several animals: lions, tigers, cheetahs, ocelots, etc.
Cheetahs: Tumai, the Zoo's four-year-old cheetah, gave birth to a litter of two male and two female cubs on November 23, 2004. This is the first litter of cheetah cubs ever born at the National Zoo in its 115-year history. Animal-care staff say the cubs are quite playful and in excellent health. Veterinarians examine the cubs every two weeks and weighed them at about nine to nine and a half pounds each on February 1. They went on public display on February 5. Each cub has had a small patch shaved in a different place (on the right shoulder or left leg, for example) so staff can tell them apart. They have started eating meat but are still nursing.
Bigger photos? To save server space, the full-sized versions of these images have either not been loaded to the server or have been removed from the server. (Only some pages are loaded with full-sized images and those usually get removed after three months.) I still have them though. If you want me to email them to you, please send an email to guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can email them to you, or, depending on the number of images, just repost the page again will the full-sized images.

2006 photos: Trips this year: Florida (two separate trips including Lotusphere and taking care of mom), three weeks out west (including Yellowstone), Williamsburg, San Diego (comic book convention), and Georgia. Equipment this year: I was using all six Fuji cameras at various times -- an S602Zoom, two S7000s,a S5200, an S9000, and an S9100. The majority of pictures this year were taken with the S9000. I have to say, the S7000s was the best camera I've used up to this point.. Number of photos taken this year: 183,000.
