I really do apologize for all the pictures of animals I have been doing lately.

The thing is… (and I really love this thing)… that I babysit Olivia, the daughter of some friends of ours, two or three times a week.

And I have to keep her occupied, because she is wicked smart… and lots of fun to hang around with.

And she loves animals, as do I…

And San Diego has a world-class zoo not too far from where I live…

And I have a zoo pass, so I get in free… I mean, the pass wasn’t free, but the more I use it, the better the bargain.

And I also have a camera with a pretty good zoom lens.

So, as long as I am there, I might as well take some pictures, right?

And as long as I took the pictures…

I might as well post them here, wouldn’t you agree?

I might get a little carried away.

I tend to do that.

So now, I thought I would mix it up by doing more photos in one post, rather than three or four posts… about the birds, I mean.

That way, we can get through this faster.

And get back to the other weird stuff I do around here.

But I do like birds.

They are always moving, and it is a challenge to get good photos.

And I like all the colors, too.

So, thanks for bearing with me.

And the little squishy-face thanks you, too.
