Slowly I am starting to post my Comic Con photos from this past weekend to my Flickr photostream. I have A LOT of work ahead of me. Good thing I enjoy it.

Comic Con 2011: Day Four
For the last day of Comic Con there were noticeably fewer celebrities and costumes. Started off great with going to the Conan Art Museum with Randy. We got free t-shirts, poster and pin, plus we got our photo taken and superimposed in a Flaming C scene that we could post online and also had printed …

Comic Con 2011: Day One
Started out the day meandering through the streets of downtown San Diego looking for off-site Comic Con venues. Then met up with Lisa at the SyFy Channel’s Café Diem on Fifth Street for breakfast. We got lucky and we were able to sit outside and people watch as we ate. Spent the entire rest of …

Comic Con 2011: Preview Night
Starting with badge pick-up this afternoon, this Preview Night was well-run, no-pressure, smooth and ultimately very satisfying for me. Already took plenty of photos, had a chance to have decent conversations with artists J. Scott Campbell and William Stout as well as actor Peter Mayhew and even got to see Stan Lee already signing autographs. …

New Canvas Print Order
Was scrounging to choose a decent enough photo to use my Groupon canvas print coupon from Picture It On Canvas for. Got a little tired of looking through all my animal and city pictures so I settled on a recent shot I took of some old west decor that was sitting outside the entrance of …

Vote For Stitch!
My friends Sylvia and Rodrigo have entered their doggie, Stitch, in a local “Dog Days of Summer” photo contest. I ask anyone reading this to go and place their vote for Stitch. It is a perfect picture.

Nighttime Zoo
Had a really enjoyable time at the San Diego Zoo’s Nighttime Zoo. Didn’t see many animals because I was with two other families with kids, including two babies, but still had a very relaxed time. Got some really good shots of two sleeping polar bears. We stayed until they closed and were able to take …

Ambulating Along Shelter Island
Went for a morning walk with the Tapias along Shelter Island in hopes of seeing a gray whale that was spotted in the harbor yesterday. No luck with the whale-spotting but we did find the Girl in the Red Shoes. And it was a very enjoyable walk to areas we’d never been before. ( p …

New Home For Scaley
Transfered our pet rattlesnake into a smaller, easier to carry container and then drove him (fastest he has ever gone at twenty miles an hour) down to the other end of the street, walked about a third of the way down the canyon and released him back into the wild. If he’d have had hands …

Old Town And Young Friends
Had a really nice time walking around taking pictures in Old Town today. Then my day got even better after meeting up for lunch with Heather and her daughter plus Lannie with her son at Café Coyote. After lunch I went over to see the McCoy House Museum for the first time. Talked for about …

Heather and Crikey, Singing In A Tree…
Finally posted my video of Heather getting Crikey, a male Kookaburra at the San Diego Zoo, to sing so loud and long that a mildly irritated zoo keeper came over and asked us to stop. Thanks for getting us into trouble, Heather.

Walking Embarcadero With Fireworks
After enjoying a really good Papa John’s pizza I had a great night walk with the Tapias along Seaport Village ending with watching some fantastic, close-up fireworks from the San Diego Symphony’s Summer Pops at the Embarcadero Marina Park North next to the Convention Center (home to Comic Con in two weeks).
