Walked around for about an hour in Old Town here in San Diego listening to my iPod and taking pictures before meeting up with my great friends Sylvia and Lannie for lunch at the Old Town Mexican Café. We chatted, reminisced and caught up with what’s been going on in our lives lately while enjoying some terrific Mexican …

Terrific Visit To SeaWorld San Diego
Had a great trip to SeaWorld today. Started out as just a walking visit with us seeing a Bearded Dragon named Pancake, a Water Monitor named Clyde, a Two-toed Sloth, a Capybara, a buttload of Penguins, dozens of Sea Turtles, some Moon Jellyfish and a seven-armed Sea Star. Our visit then turned into a deli …

The Zoo With Six Females
After spending an hour walking around the San Diego Zoo by myself listening to my iPod and taking pictures of, amongst other things, a great encounter with one of the Malayan Tiger cubs, I met up with my friends Mary and her daughter, a maximumly pregnant Bethany and her daughter, and Brooke and her daughter. …

Evening Walk In Coronado
Met my friends Sylvia, Rodrigo, Lilo and Stitch at Tidelands Park in Coronado this evening. We walked up to the Coronado Ferry Landing where we went out on the pier to check out the shimmering downtown skyline as it got dark, and then went back to the Ferry Landing where we sat down for a …

Richard Alf Memorial
Drove up to Ramona to attend the memorial for my friend, Richard Alf, who passed away last week. I arrived about an hour early so I could take pictures of Bonham Bros. and Stewart Mortuary and then have some time to walk around downtown Ramona before heading back for the service. Was planning on visiting …

In Search Of Hot Pirate Babes
After my Zoo visit I drove over to Captain’s Cove at Seaport Village to pick the final calendar I need for this year. Instead of asking for the “Hot Pirate Babes” calendar, I just pointed to their display and told them I would like one. There were other people in the store. Afterwards I walked around …

Short Zoo Trip
First my first San Diego Zoo visit of the new year I spent about two hours there, mainly at the Reptile House, but I also wandered through parts of the Children’s Zoo. Took quite a few snake and lizard shots, but balanced that with some cutesy meerkat photos. Got to see two Caiman Lizards being …

Another Trip To Sea The World
Took my mom for our second walking visit of the year to SeaWorld San Diego. It was another perfect, sunny day with two employees telling us we picked a perfect day to come since it was so empty. Spent a little more time checking out the animals at “Animal Connections” such as two llamas named …

Post Lunch Ferry Landing Stroll
After enjoying lunch at the Burger Lounge, I drove over to the Coronado Ferry Landing to do a bit of solo strolling and picture taking. Even though I’ve taken many shots from here before, I never give a up a chance to take some more. It is hands down the best place to get shots …

First SeaWorld Visit Of The New Year
Took my mom walking at SeaWorld today for our first of hopefully many visits to come. We ran into some friends, Paul and Shirley, that we made from back in the Terrific Tuesdays days. My mom was hoping to run into them to find out how Shirley’s hip-replacement surgery went. My God, when did my …

Coffee and Calendars
After visiting Richard, I drove over to University Town Center (where I noticed some major demolition of the old Robinson’s department store going on) to perk up my sullen mood by picking up as many half-price calendars that I could find from my list. It was a good haul, scoring seven of them. Sat down …

Red Bull: New Year. No Limits.
On our walk from the Auto Show to Seaport Village, we passed by a huge ramp set up for a New Year’s Eve attempt at two simultaneous world-record jumps over water at the Embarcadero. Sponsored by Red Bull, one will be by Levi LaVallee on a snowmobile and the other by Robbie Maddison on a …

Annual International Auto Show
Enjoyed my annual attending of the San Diego International Auto Show at the Convention Center downtown by the bay. This year I was accompanied by my friends José, Rodrigo and Archie. All guys…huh. My focus, as usual, was not on the cars normal people would buy every day. That’s boring. I was aiming my camera …

Final Natural History Museum Visit For 2011
After finishing up my Zoo visit, I walked “next door” and spent about two hours at the San Diego Natural History Museum, including watching the exceptionally well-done 3D movie called “Sea Rex: Journey to a Prehistoric World.” As is with almost all the movies I’ve seen at “The NAT,” the 3D was amazing and the …

Final Zoo Visit For 2011
What was supposed to be an extended last visit to the San Diego Zoo for this year turned into a limited, shortened, crowd-dodging, iPodless and relatively unremarkable excursion. Although, I did pass some cool animals walking around on leashes (a leopard and a wolf) and it was a beautiful and sunny 7o degree day, and …
