I was photographing oxeye daisies in bloom (because I'm visiting California, where the plants laugh at winter!) when I came across this couple enjoying Valentine's Day.
May I wish that all of you, in your own ways, also enjoy the day.

Just to be clear: I don't work at the National Zoo--I just live near it. I'm originally from Detroit, most recently from Boston (where I got my Ph.D. in biology from Tufts University), and am now living in Washington, DC.
