Some people were enthralled by this celebrity sighting whereas I uttered a lackluster "Oh, look" and then became distracted by a nearby Boston terrier who just puked on the jogging path.

But rest assured, I was able to tear myself away from the vomiting pooch long enough to snap a few pix of the exhibit:
