USA Trip Images from Washington DC

Hello from Washington DC,

Having a great time, managed to get to the zoo yesterday but it was pouring down with rain. All the pandas were snoozing inside, I did manage to take a few photos but I'm not that impressed with them, going back to day to see if I can do better, as it looks like it's going to be a beautiful day.

Update on Panda News

Well things for me are really busy at the moment, I started a new job back at the end of November and what with Christmas, illness and now getting ready for my trip to visit the pandas in the USA, I don't seem to have a moment spare!

But I still managed to get the odd story out, luckily things are quiet in the panda world at the moment, but breeding season will soon be with us and then hopefully lots of beautiful new cubs.
