Over Exposure

I posted one of my tiger photos on Facebook today and it was noticed and reposted by my friend Matt who is the social media guru for the San Diego Zoo. Within four hours of him reposting the shot it got over 1,000 “Likes,” 50 comments and it was re-shared more than 200 times. I …

New Monarch Larvae

It’s been quite a while since I posted any photos of Monarch larvae (mainly because of cold weather and a lack of egg-laying butterflies) so here are nine that I found on our milkweed plants today, just enough to field a baseball team. Good thing we have plenty of plants with healthy leaves and flower …

This Week’s SeaWorld Jaunt

Took my mom back to SeaWorld for this week’s walkabout. It was wonderfully empty. Came across a new animated conservation mascot I’ve seen before but never really paid attention to or photographed. She’s drawn super Disney-ish cute and is just outside the Turtle Reef exhibit.  Not much noticeable change to the Manta installation. We did …

Barftastic

These bad lip reading videos are getting so dang good. And funny.

Hangin’ With Sylvia

Had a fun time today hanging with my long-time friend, Sylvia. My visit bizarrely began and ended with viewing an overhead airship. Portent of some kind? We went to the newly opened/remodeled JCPenney at Plaza Bonita to check out what all the hubbub was about. We weren’t disappointed. The store was clean, organized, the staff …

New Images For February

The firsts of the months are some my happiest of days. Each time I get twenty-four new calendar photos, paintings, drawings or graphic images of Star Wars characters, Star Trek ships, landscapes, fifties pinup cuties, contemporary pinup beauties, fantasy and comic book pinups (noticing a theme?), hot pirate babes, other pirate characters, Pixar characters, Walt …

Back To The Land Of Disney

After dropping off some business phones in Anaheim for Lannie’s husband, she and I hopped over to Disneyland for a quick visit and lunch. I called our friend Michaelle who works there and asked if she could meet us. First Lannie and I checked out the newly opened Jolly Holiday Bakery at the end of …

Dog’s Eye View

Really fun and creative dog’s eye view video of playing with other canines at a public dog park. Beautiful Day at the Dog Park from Kelsey Wynns on Vimeo.

Chuck Finale

Finally got around to watching the finale to “Chuck.” Having never missed an episode and since it was the series finale, I kept putting it off so in my mind it wouldn’t end. Now that I’ve watched it I think it was a good way to end the show. New beginnings. I am gonna miss …

Score Four And One Hour Ago

For someone who hates politics, I sure seem to be active with the White House petition signing. Maybe it’s because the Internet is quickly and irreversibly moving our government back towards “We the People.” Funny how governments around the world want to stem that very tide (ACTA/SOPA/PIPA).

The Cast Of Jane

My mom and I spent some quality time with our neighbor Jane, who broke her ankle while waking her dog, Bella, on Christmas Day. She collects pig statues. Jane, not her dog. This should count for good karma points, right?

Viennese Nights: Round Three

Representing steerage class, I worked my third Viennese Nights: A Grand Ball at the Balboa Park Club, an annual event put on by  The San Diego Vintage Dance Society of which my sister Beata and her husband Bill are members. With the almost non-stop preparation of snack trays and drinks, the evening went by very quickly helped along …

Post Christmas Take-Down

Helping Rodrigo take down the Christmas light tree that we made last December took much less time than it did to create it. The last vestiges of Christmas 2011 are now gone. For our efforts we were handsomely rewarded with an amazing home-made pasta and garlic bread dinner that Sylvia had made.

Less Hair On Me

Got another one of Sylvia’s patented “really good” haircuts. In almost thirty years I don’t think she’s ever given me a bad one, even when she was mad at me that one time in 1992. Great thing about knowing your barber so well is that you can spend the entire time talking behind the backs …

Saw Lions, Tigers And Bears, Oh My

Had a really good Zoo excursion with my photo gal-pal, Heather. First, we got super lucky with finding all three Malayan Tigers (momma and two large cubs) all nestled in an alcove by a viewing window. (I’m hoping I got at least one good shot out of the forty that I took of them.) Also …
