For the last month or so I have been spending more time at the National Zoo. I recently took over as the leader of the Friends of the National Zoo photoclub and have been meeting with the zoo staff on a regular basis to handle transition issues. The photoclub has some great members and the Zoo is starting to use our photos on a regular basis for the website and zoo magazine. We have also been volunteering to shoot the weekend events. This past Saturday I shot the Cockadoodle Zoo event and I dropped off photos from that event yesterday. After my meeting with the zoo photographer I went to visit Luke the lion.

It is amazing how big Luke has gotten in the past year. Here is a selection of photos I took from my visit. My what big teeth you have there Luke.
