Sorry this is turning into a photo blog

^this guy got into the flamingo pen and was literally shaking his tail feathers and yelling. I have NEVER seen a peacock actually spread its tail. Great end to the day. then my camera died :(
^obligatory mama and baby shot. they turn pink around a year old.
^flamingo chicks (like the bigger one at right) are all at once the most awkward and adorable creatures on the planet. take a fuzzy jr. high school boy and stick him on stilts. yeah.
^flamingo fight!!! when i hit the button their necks formed a perfect heart but it's blurry because they were biting each other's beaks off.
^spot nosed monkey watching other monkeys knock each other off things
^ the resident baby panda bear at San Diego zoo was being especially photogenic. i want to make greeting cards with this thing.
^hot, tired, adorable polar bear avoids public.

Y'all must think i've gone all wannabe national geographic or something.

Well, my camera just bit the dust so after this you're probably safe for awhile.

I have more pics on facebook, and you guys are more than welcome to use them as reference photos.

I take well over 300 pictures and only post maybe 30-40 so if you don't see it, ask.

california has schizo weather. i freeze, i burn, it drives me nutso. and the driving. OY. worse than Denver. And that's sayin' somethin'!

I'd draw more but the crowds are so rude and pushy you can't stand still for more than 2 seconds.
