Positive photo day 2057: Since I will be working at a UN meeting all week (enb.iisd.org/montreal-pro...) I snuck in an early morning #safari at #NairobiNationalPark on Sunday. Each day I will highlight some of what I saw. Today, we will start with #lions. #wildlifephotography (Sorry for poor focus.)
