Luke, the male African lion at Smithsonian's National Zoo took a break from his afternoon bone today to watch the snowflakes fall in Washington, D.C. Although it does not snow in his native Africa, Luke seemed content to lie outside of his heated den and finish his lunch, occasionally shaking the snow from his mane. Luke and the Zoo's three female African lions can been seen at the Zoo's Great Cats exhibit.

I saw this picture on the cover of the Washington Post the day after our first big snow of the year. Just an amazing picture because of how it captures the lion looking up at the snowflakes and also the look in his eye. I really give big kudos to the photographer/Mehgan Murphy of the Smithsonian National Zoo for being at the right place at the right time to take this amazing photo! Well done!
I also read this week that people can now get National Zoo Ringtones on their phones. A cool and creative idea and the money goes to a great cause.
