Today begins my two half days and three full days of house and cat-sitting for the neighbors. Crossing the paths of eight black cats. What could go wrong?

Zoo Day With Mary
Walked around and had lunch at the San Diego Zoo with Mary and her daughter Diana. Spent the first hour by myself listening to my iPod and taking pictures of all the two-week old and one three-day old flamingo chicks. ( p i c s )

Half A Family Dinner
Had dinner with my mom, brother, nephew and his girlfriend at my older brother’s house. Was nice. Only got pictures of the food and pets, though. Didn’t feel that the humans were in the right mood.

Ready To Fly
After a few days away I came back home to find not two Phoebe chicks like I originally thought, but four. Three of them were still in the nest chattering away seemingly ready to fly at any moment and one sitting on the fence below the nest, still being fed by mom. I was able …

House Of VS Day Five: Scales, Fur And An Interloper
Mr. Fisher, Theo, Gordon and a welcome intruder whom I call Halle because she’s brown, pretty and played Catwoman. Eight eyes, four tails, twelve paws, four fins and one human observer ironically with no fins, tails or paws.

Phoebe Chicks
Was finally able to get a couple of shots of our Phoebe chicks today. Only stayed for about half a minute because both parents, being incredibly attentive, were getting nervous with me around.

Phoebe Nest
Discovered yet another bird’s nest outside our house. This time it’s a Phoebe nest under the roof eave on the exact opposite side of where our Mourning Doves are nesting. Can’t see inside but I can hear at least two chicks chirping away whenever mom comes near.

Bull$#!%
Got to see my first Texas bullfrog tonight when moving my car. Didn’t seem to mind me much sneaking up on it from behind to take its picture. Even the frogs are neighborly.

The Shipley & Primrose Show
After picking up some coffee and donuts at Shipley’s, Brenda and I took her dog Musashi to her school so her students could pet him through the outside fence. They all even sang a song about him that Brenda had taught them. 24 little Pre-K kids all yelling and reaching for “Musi” at the same time.

Deer Me
Finally got the deer photos I was hoping for this whole time in Los Alamos. Spotted one this morning, then saw two more while I was waiting to get closer. I patiently tracked them from our yard to the neighbor’s for about half an hour and eventually two of them started walking toward me. And …

Alone Time With The Animals
Spent a couple of hours at the San Diego Zoo, walking around by myself, listening to to my iPod and taking pictures. Very relaxing. I focused my shots on primates, especially their feet and hands. (pics to come)
