That is the official end of my photo tour of the Smithsonian. I have no other pictures that I think turned out good enough to post (some of the ones I posted I hesitated on as well).

Thanks for looking and for your kind comments

Really great photos, Bob!

Thanks for taking time to share your SI visit. I loved seeing the displays and your comments.
