I went to the Santa Fe College Teaching Zoo to photograph some baby otters new to the zoo on Monday. The pups, born on April 30 to the zoo's otter couple Jay and Lakena, only recently began to spend time outside their nesting box. The parents have been teaching them to swim, and the pups seemed to be doing well when I saw them swim through the pond in their enclosure. The zoo staff have opted to avoid disrupting the family, so they have not yet determined the pups' sexes. Until that point, the pups will likely not receive names.

Walter Cronkite died Friday evening. He was 92. I think it/s fitting that the 40th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moonwalk Monday is so close to Cronkite/s death. Out of all the clips of Cronkite/s broadcasts shown over the past few days, the veteran journalist seems least inhibited during the now famed broadcast of the lunar landing. Cronkite had even remarked that the Apollo 11 landing was the high point in his career because he was certain it would be the most important event of his lifetime. Unfortunately, it seems he was correct.
