White House 2011: The year in photos (slideshow of favorite images by WH photographer Pete Souza

One of the pics:

July 15, 2011
"One of the most poignant days of the year was when Ruby Bridges visited the White House. Ruby is the girl portrayed in Norman Rockwell's famous painting "The Problem We All Live With," which depicts Ruby as she is escorted to school on the court-ordered first day of integrated schools in New Orleans in 1960. When the Norman Rockwell Museum loaned the painting to the White House for a short period of time, the president invited Ruby to view the painting while it was on display outside the Oval Office."
Pete Souza / The White House

I would have loved to have seen them, but for some reason, no pictures appeared, just the captions. Any one know why?
