Wait… they come in different colors???

a 1

I like flowers… it is the artist in me… and when I was at the zoo with little Olivia, I saw this flower. These flowers are all over San Diego, but, until I saw a few of these planted close together, I never realized there were so many colors of that one type of flower…

a 2

I mean, the pink and yellow and red one is awesome…

a 3

But so is purple and red…

a 4

Or just yellow…

a 5

They all have their own beauty!

Even the tiger had to admit that Olivia’s ‘tiger face’ was better than his tiger face…

a 55

He was totally jealous…

a 3

He was actually pacing back and forth at the top of the enclosure, smelling the fence. It turns out that he has a brother, and the zoo has been separating them  for part of the day, to get used to the fact that they will soon be kept apart permanently.

a 4

His brother was on the other side of the fence, also pacing and sniffing… it was sad… but cute…

a 5

And speaking of cute…

a 6

It is a rare treat to see this cat outside during the day.

a 7

It is some kind of jungle fishing cat, but I can’t remember where it is from. It looks like a house cat, but it is larger by a third… wait… did I just do math?

a 2

Even the tiger is amazed…

a 1

Oh yeah… tiger face!!!

Because Olivia loves turtles…

a 1

And because I love Olivia… I take her to the zoo…

a 2

And because I love you…

a 3

I take the camera and the zoom lens with us to the zoo…

a 4

It is all about the love…

a 5

And animals are just cool…

a 6

Who doesn’t like animals? I mean, besides Donald Trump’s obnoxious kids… who spend all their free time shooting them…

a 7

But why ruin the mood talking about that guy… besides, if he gets elected, we can forget any meaningful dialog on climate change, so we will all drown… along with all these animals… which should make his kids happy…

a 8

Seriously… how did I end up talking about that guy?

a 9

What a mood killer…

a 10

Wait… how do you eat with crossed tusks???

Well, I really am sorry, Mr. Eric Idle of Monty Python fame, but this is what happens when you let naked pictures of yourself show up on Twitter… and I am on pain meds… and have spare time… and Photoshop…

c 4

I don’t think he is going to mind… he still sends me tweets now and then… and he did get me permission to use all those Monty Python quotes for that alien in my sci-fi novel series that learned how to speak English watching BBC reruns of that famous comedy show…

c 1

It started when I spotted this photo on Twitter…

c 2

And I tried to be tasteful about it… at first…

c 3

But then, the pain meds in my body interacted with the crack squirrels in my head…

c 5

And then… things just got weird…

Mad dogs and Englishmen… I know, I already used that in a title… but it still works…

a 1

These are supposed to be the last photos of our time with the English relatives… I don’t know how that dog got in here…

a 2

There they are, cousin Lynne, her boyfriend, Malcolm… and most of cousin Dot. They came over to our house on day three of their visit, for a barbecue.

a 3

Awwww… how cute are they? I really think you should go back a year and look at the photos of our adventures with them when we visited them in England last summer… we did some crazy stuff.

a 4

You would see the sights of London, and the English countryside… where we stayed with Dot for a few days… and you would see the Queen and Royal Family, a scene from a James Bond movie being filmed, and lots of other cool stuff.

a 5

Seriously…

a 6

It was a pretty awesome day. Lynne is petting our dog, Shiloh… so who the heck is that other dog?

a 7

And I even got to get out the tikis I carve for decorations…

a 8

Oh yeah…

a 9

Wait… that might not be a dog at all…

a 10

That might be me in a dog mask…

You put your right foot in… you put your right foot out…

a 1

No!

a 2

I didn’t say ‘shake it all about’ yet!!!

a 3

Wait… which foot are we putting in first?

a 4

Oh wow… cool nests… I wonder what kind of cute little birds built those?

a 5

Great… devil birds…

a 6

This is not going to end well…

a 7

Nope…

a 8

Good idea, Olivia… give them the ‘squishy face’!!! Ha! I love taking my little babysitting buddy to the zoo!
