I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.

Specific picture descriptions: Photos above with "i" icons next to the bracketed sequence numbers (e.g. "[1] ") are described as follows:
1. CCTREE_191130_156.JPG: The Washington Chorus. I was surprised to not see anyone of color in the chorus.
2. CCTREE_191130_222.JPG: Eun Yang
3. CCTREE_191130_265.JPG: ??? -- he was in charge of City Center DC maybe ???
4. CCTREE_191130_395.JPG: DC City Council member Jack Evans. By this point, he was under serious investigation for bribery and corruption charges. Within the month, the rest of the city council recommended that he be expelled and he finally quit on January 7, 2020. However, he had been city council member for this ward for 20 years and had been a supporter of the CityCenter project so he was a prominent participant in the ceremony.
5. CCTREE_191130_465.JPG: Screech, the mascot for the DC Nationals was present as well.
6. CCTREE_191130_491.JPG: Lighting sequence
7. CCTREE_191130_635.JPG: You can see Screech in the distance so I had to run after him.
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.
