A few Photos from a trip to the Los Angeles Zoo

It was HOT and most of the animals were sleeping. This Lioness looked so comfortable.

A tiger snoozing in the back of his enclosure.

This was the "Little" Aligator, there was a HUGE one here too, but it was hiding.

A California Sea Lion taking a swim.

A closeup of the big male Giraffe's face.

A Zebra taking a nap.

A few Photos for a Month

Some photos from the past month:



Mom and Baby Ducks at Disneyland in June.



What the cost of gas has done to the So Cal Freeways.



Watching the surf north of Emma Woods State Beach.





Went to see Wicked in LA on July 6th.

I got a new little camera to carry in my pocket. I wasn't taking my big camera with me everywhere and found that there were times I wanted to take a shot, but didn't have anything but my phone. It takes terrible photos! So I got a Nikon Coolpix S210, so far I love being able to carry it in my pocket and have it handy any time.


This is an Amaryllis that we've had forever. It blooms every year.


Bubbles from the best bubble maker ever!


Eucalyptus leaves covered in rain drops.


Rain on Memorial Day Weekend.

So far I really like this camera, but my big Nikon is my favorite.

Chairs

I could use some down time. It's been a busy month and these chairs look very inviting to me....

Sliding Bark

We stayed at a fantastic B and B last month. While wandering around the property we saw this tree growing from a boulder. It looks like it's bark is sliding off and puddling on the boulder.

More to see in Virginia City

While in Virginia City we visited the Comstock Fireman's Museum.



This engine is still used for parades and shows.



Right next door is a place where you can see a "real" gun fight.



Or nearby you can get some Candy if you're not into the gunfight scene.



If neither of those appeals to you, stroll on over the Saloon and grab a drink.
