Well, I am back in San Diego from visiting my mom in the Bay Area for her 95th birthday. But I still have a lot of photos from my trip to share.

I caught a raccoon stealing the cat food again. I love the way their eyes turn orange in the flash.

Wait, now his eyes are green.

Okay, that’s better.

I got a few shots of this squirrel eating birdseed that the birds tossed on the ground. I have a lot of good bird pictures too, so wait for that.

No, this is not one of the crack squirrels that live inside my head.

He was much too calm to be one of them.

While I was sitting in my mom’s garden waiting for birds to show up for their photo shoots, I tried to use the telephoto lens to take some pictures of the wasps.

They aren’t great photos.

But these little suckers move fast.
