San Diego

Yesterday, the lovely and talented Joanie, DaGoddess, took us to the San Diego Wild Animal Park.

It was beautiful. The critters are fantastic, from the merecats to the lioness.

I found out just how out of shape I am. I don't do nearly enough walking at home - I will have to start. Now that I have my new camera, I can at least walk up to the nature preserve behind the high school and practice my budding photography skills.

We brought our cameras, of course, and Joanie gave me a few photography hints, but it will be a long time before any picture I take approaches Joanie's talents. She has a great eye for composition - I don't - I tend to depend on photoshop to frame my pictures.

Joanie is such fun to be around. We just love her, and will definitely make sure she comes to visit us in Leavenworth - maybe in autumn when the trees at Ft. Leavenworth are at their best color.

It's very foggy this morning in San Diego. Might be cool to go down to the harbor and get some shots of the tall ships through the fog, if this keeps up.

But that would mean I have to get out of our nice comfy bed here in the executive suite in our hotel (Hilton Honors is very very nice to us). John brought me coffee in bed - what a life!

I have to upload pictures to exposure manager. I'll see if any are worth publishing here!
