Description of Subject Matter: When I first arrived in DC, I was a workaholic and spent 60 hours a week working on either my regular job, various part-time jobs, or DOS-based PC projects under the Wayne Software name. I donated my annual leave to people and almost all of my vacations were for family-related affairs (nothing wrong with that of course). I hadn't seen the cherry blossoms for the first 15 years I was here and never visited the statue Liberty when it was off the dome of the Capitol. Then I got into the Civil War and photography and a whole new world opened up. As I started to do more things, I realized it was time to actually give back to the places that were providing me such joy. So I started joining the Friends of the National Zoo, the Smithsonian, the Civil War Preservation Trust, etc. At the zoo, I purchased a number of tiles. These are their pictures.
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.

2020 photos: Well, that was a year, wasn't it? The COVID-19 pandemic cut off most events here in DC after March 11. The child president's handling of the pandemic was a series of disastrous missteps and lies, encouraging his minions to not wear masks and dramatically increasing infections and deaths here.The BLM protests started in June, made all the worse by the child president's inability to have any empathy for anyone other than himself. Then of course he tried to steal the election in November. What a year! Trips: Because of COVID, the farthest distance I traveled after that was about 40 miles. I only visited sites in four states -- Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia and DC -- and didn't do any overnight travel anywhere. That was the least amount of travel I had done since 1995. Equipment this year: I continued to use my Fuji XS-1 cameras but, depending on the event, I also used a Nikon D7000. Number of photos taken this year: about 246,000, the fewest number of photos I had taken in any year since 2007.
