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!

That's not fog - it's called the "Marine Layer". It used to crack us up to leave our house in Vista, where it was hot and sunny, and head to the beach, where it was cold and foggy. The Hubster's joke was that they should move the beach inland...

You are far too kind. YOU and JOHN are the fabulous folks, not me. Thank you...for everything!
Darlin', your photos are great. I love your shots of your furry critters, including John!
You'll have no trouble with the macros now that Sean's helped with the settings. We'll get your manual out in the afternoon and try all the settings we can.
Thank you so much for being my friend! Thank you for coming to visit. Thank you for the rhino tile. Most of all, thank you for being you.

I have always wanted to go to San Diego. I hear it's 75 degrees all year round! That's my kind of weather.
Did you see the pandas?
