Quick Zoo Visit
Before heading to a lecture at the Natural History Museum in Balboa Park, I had about an hour to kill so I walked over to the San Diego Zoo for a quick half-hour visit. I headed straight for the recently opened Reptile Walk since I’ve been having good luck with photos there of late. Didn’t …

Comic Fest 2012 Wrap-up Meeting
There was a really good turnout of about twenty-five staff members for our Comic Fest 2012 wrap-up meeting at the Ontell’s house in Tierrasanta. Department heads talked about how successful the con was in their specific areas and the Fest’s organizer, Mike Towry, commented on the Fest’s success as a whole. He also officially announced …

Veterans Day Salute
Just like last year, I was lucky enough to capture the San Diego Salute flying formation team as they did their annual Mt. Soledad Veterans Memorial ceremony fly-over in their Beechcraft T-34s. Unfortunately, this year they didn’t fly directly over my house and there were fewer planes, but I truly honor their commitment to this wonderful yearly …

Feels Like The First Time
I am both embarrassed and proud to say that I have finally, for the first time ever, voted in a general election for US President as well as local ballots, initiatives, propositions and political offices. I got tired of people saying that those who don’t vote shouldn’t complain. Got tired of it mainly because I …

Larvae Nursery
Came across this odd collection of tiny, elongated spots on one of our outside walls in the backyard. Upon closer inspection they turned out to be super tiny, newly hatched larvae of I think some kind of moth. They actually look really pretty with all their hairs sticking out. You can even make out some …

My Photo Made The Popular Crowd
After having so far posted 58 photos onto the photographer’s website 500px, the last of my three underwater polar bear photos, which I posted today, finally made the popular list with a ratio of views, “affections” and comments. Not a terribly big deal since my photo was on the 107th page of popular photos, but …

Visited By Royalty
Was able to get quite friendly with a recently emerged female Monarch Butterfly by getting it to crawl onto my hand and then transferring it to my shirt. It stayed for about a minute before then flying north. This was actually the second day in a row that I got to do this. The day …

Two Stages Of Butterfly Life
I was amazingly lucky to be able to watch a Monarch larva transform into a chrysalis, followed closely by a healthy Monarch butterfly emerge from its chrysalis, which then I was able to temporarily place on my shoulder before it flew away. It was a good nature day.

Jeff’s Secret Mission
Picked up my ol’ Disney pal, Jeff, who was in town visiting from Austin on business, from a discreet location to begin our evening of reminiscing, eating, drinking and merriment. We began in La Jolla and ended up in Old Town where we had a wonderful Mexican dinner and talked about how good life is. …

Best Day Ever…While I Wasn’t Watching
So a few days ago, while I was still on my unofficial blogging hiatus, I unknowingly had the most views ever on my blog for one day. Over 2,000. (It was followed by the second most on the next day.) Do not know yet if it was a spambot checking back every few seconds or …

Video Chat with B – Halloween Style
My latest video chat (through Google hangouts) with Princess Brenda. She wanted to show me the costume that she wore while teaching her class on their dress-up day. She went as a vampire. A happy, friendly vampire. Cool costume. Crazy red glowiness to her ginormous eyelashes. She also had a spooky collar for Musi so …

A Shot In The Arm
After an inexcusable, four-month long, self-inflicted hiatus, I’m returning to the blogosphere with a post about getting my flu shot today at a local Costco. The vaccination will take effect in about two weeks so the nurse advised me to stay away from anybody who is sick. That’s advice I tend to heed all the …

Lost A Baby, Helped A Baby
After losing the Phoebe chick this morning my day was a bit of a downer. Later in the day we found a juvenile alligator lizard inside the house just resting on the kitchen floor. I didn’t want anything to happen to this little fellow. It had already lost its tail once and was in the …

Nature’s Unfortunate Side
Today I watched a Phoebe chick die. Yesterday afternoon, while I was busy enjoying my annual visit to the San Diego County Fair with Rodrigo and Sylvia, I got a call from my mom saying that she found two Phoebe chicks on the ground after they had fallen about eight from their nest under a …

Breakfast With Harriet
Met my long-time friend and one-time client, Harriet, for breakfast at the Encinitas Cafe in, of all places, Encinitas. She had chosen the restaurant because it had been a few years since she’d been there and she remembered it fondly. I liked the history behind the place. From their website: “The Encinitas Cafe has been …
