After my Zoo visit I walked over to the Natural History Museum and spent a couple of hours there taking pictures and actually learning something. For example, did you know that Sun Chips have 30% less fat than regular chips? I got hungry.

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.

A Street Name Desired
While doing a usual search for our family name on Google I came across this street in the city of Szeged, appropriately in Hungary.

Mouse House
Came home from lunch and had this little guy waiting for me by the front door. I think he was waiting for some lunch leftovers. Bummer for him that I didn’t have any. He hopped away. The end.

Rubyesque Melt (Sorry, Lisa)
For lunch today I went to Ruby’s in Mission Valley and had my usual Albacore Melt, but this time with my friend, Lannie. Walked around a bit afterwards and came across a blue puppy and some giant chess pieces. Normal, everyday stuff.

Another, Less Welcome, Native Visitor
Came across this juvenile Western Rattlesnake on our driveway while I was taking out the trash. Beautiful animals, but it does worry me a bit to wonder where the rest of the members of the nest are.

Beautiful Time-Lapse Photography
I absolutely love this kind of time-lapse photography accompanied by soothing music.
(Thanks to a tweet by Stephen Fry.)

Cinemagraphs
Fascinating new form of digital advertising using artistically rendered animated GIFs. Many more great examples can be found at the From Me To You photo blog.

Richer And Wiser
Nothing to write home about today, except for this info graphic video about how the state of the world’s health and wealth have greatly improved over the last couple of hundred years. Brilliantly presented.

Easter Dinner
Had nine people around our table tonight for an almost impromptu Easter dinner. Was only planned since yesterday afternoon. It was nice to have family, friends and one rambunctious little puppy adding much needed energy and frolic to the house. At least temporarily. The peace and quiet that followed was nice, too.

Baby Squirrels Own Our Backyard
Watched four baby squirrels, two adults and one teenager running rampant around our backyard, eating birdseed and weeds in the grass. What I suppose must have been the mother sat on the fence for a while watching it all.
