So I took my buddy, my friend’s daughter, Olivia, to the world famous San Diego Zoo… (you have to say ‘world famous’ or the people here get mad!)… No, I know, her mom isn’t even working because she is due to have the twins soon, and grandma is still here helping… I just borrowed Olivia.

Nope, it wasn’t even part of my evil plan to take babysitting gigs away from teenage girls by undercutting their prices… I did it for free… because… Olivia! Besides, two-year-olds are my people.

Now, most days, you barely see the tigers. They are way up in the back or hiding and sleeping. But today was a good tiger day.

I did have the zoom lens. It was a pretty good orangutan day, too.

And birds… I took a lot of bird pictures.

We didn’t see the baby gorilla, but I got some good shots of the adults.

But I have a lot of tiger pictures… these are like the most boring of the bunch.

Random flower pic! I think that is a bromeliad.

So get ready for a lot of animal posts… mostly about tigers.
