Spent a drizzly morning at the San Diego Zoo for a group tweet-up of 34 people. As they are celebrating Koalapalooza we learned about Kookaburras, Wombats, Red Tree Kangaroos, Echidnas and of course, Koalas.

Zoom Retry
Decided to try and see if my old telephoto lens, while still messed up from being dropped into a pool, would still be able to take decent photos. I had to work with the final shots in Photoshop a bit, but overall I wasn’t too displeased.

New View Of Hummingbird Nest
While the Hummingbird was still in the nest, she let me tie the plant branches to protect it from the wind. Then while she flew off I took some more pictures of the two eggs.

Hippo Replacement
For my milestone 500th blog post, I took my mom to see the baby hippo, now six days old, at the San Diego Zoo. Got extremely lucky that Funani, the mother, decided to move out of the water and onto the dirt. That gave everyone who waited a chance to clearly see the calf.

Walking Dogs And Then Chicken
Had a great walk with Rodrigo, Sylvia, Stitch and Lilo at Fiesta Island on yet another beautiful San Diego day. Then went to Chick-fil-A by the Sports Arena for a very tasty lunch. Only downside was that “Disney on Ice” let out just as we were finishing our meal.
