I went to the National Zoo this afternoon with the plan to see and photograph the giant pandas. But they didn't want to cooperate. They both were sleeping inside instead of frolicking in their enclosures like they are supposed to do when someone like me comes all the way up to zoo with the intention to see them frolicking in their enclosures. Oh, well. Next time.

So the best I could do was take a self-portrait of me with the statue of the panda out in the courtyard in front of the gift shop.
