Capturing these beautiful creatures was such a pleasure and looking at their photos just continues to warm my heart. May they bring you a percentage of the joy they brought me.

Never want to meet one of these in the wild – San Diego Zoo
As most of you know my family and I enjoy our time together at the family cabin in the mountains. None of us are particularly fearful of bears or even snakes. But all of us have a healthy fear of these kitties. May we never meet one in person that isn’t on the other side of a cage…
Mother Nature has the best sense of humor – San Diego Zoo
Kudos to Hollywood for making all sorts of interesting stories and weird characters. But Mother Nature takes the cake in making interesting looking beings. Captured here are some of the more special animals I observed at the San Diego zoo.
Birds of a Feather – San Diego Zoo
There were many surprises at the San Diego Zoo. But none as gloriously and feathered as the beautiful birds. Everywhere I went through the park I was surrounded by lovely birds each more interesting that the last. I have attached a few of my favorites either because they were unusual or because they had charachter and paid attention to little ol’ me. My grandmother and I have always taken offense when animal don’t like us or don’t pay attention to us. These feathered friends were very curious and as interested in me as I was in them. If only they carried a camera with them everywhere they went…
I haven’t felt this happy in a very long time
Anyone that knows me knows that two of my favorite things are animals and photography. So, having a surprise afternoon off in beautiful San Diego took me to their lovely zoo for the first time ever. I had a smile plastered on my face the entire time. Everywhere I turned it was one impressive animal after another. Zebras, giraffe, sloth, Galapagos turtle, hippo, so many glorious birds I couldn’t keep count. Any one of these animals would be impressive on their own. But each animal was one-upped by the next even cooler animal. Having something to photograph other than brides for a change was such a treat. Did I mention sloth?
