Today is the 1st Birthday of Xiao Liwu - "Little Gift", the Panda Cub at the San Diego Zoo. :clap

These images are from the week in January when he first went on public display.
He did not want to get-up that morning, and we went through the viewing line
three times waiting for him to pop-up.

I wanted to share these today, not only because it's his birthday, but also just in case
anyone was running low on Cuteness...:D

Mama - Bai Yun - kept a close eye on the goings-on. She "chuffed" a lot - not too happy with all the humans around.

    Eric, these are so adorable! That first one almost looks like stuffed toy you could put on a child's bed! Thanks for posting! Best, Pam

    Hi Pam, thanks so much for commenting!
    I know.. he's just too cute! Everyone in San Diego is just koo-koo over this little guy.
    So, as you might imagine, the Zoo anticipated the stuffed toy angle and
    had plenty of them available right at kid eye-level. deal.gif

    What a little cutie. We've been to the zoo a few times but never got a glimpse of the little one. It might be time to go back though! I love how the eyes shine in the first picture. Great photograph, wish I had a chance to work with and photograph animals!

    Thanks for looking, glad you liked 'em! .....what is it about baby animals? They seem to make most of us swoon!
