Went to the San Diego Zoo today for my seventh visit of the year so far. This time with Sylvia, Mary and her daughter Diana. We made sure to stop by the hippo calf so Sylvia could finally see it in person. We ate lunch at the Flamingo Café before heading out in the early afternoon.

New View Of Hummingbird Nest
While the Hummingbird was still in the nest, she let me tie the plant branches to protect it from the wind. Then while she flew off I took some more pictures of the two eggs.

Hippo Replacement
For my milestone 500th blog post, I took my mom to see the baby hippo, now six days old, at the San Diego Zoo. Got extremely lucky that Funani, the mother, decided to move out of the water and onto the dirt. That gave everyone who waited a chance to clearly see the calf.
