If You Decide to Hang a Slab of Ribs in Your Backyard . . .

I'm not sure why anyone would, but if you should decide some day to hang a slab of ribs from a tree in your backyard, be careful where you put it . . . because . . . 


. . . you just never know when the neighborhood cat will come wandering by.

Easter Weekend with the Tigers - San Diego Zoo

I spent a good portion of Easter Weekend with the Malayan Tigers at the San Diego Zoo.  Here are a few pictures from Friday and Sunday.


There was a lot of lounging and napping going on Friday.





I did get at least one picture of something other than a tiger - this little green lizard on the face of the cliff above the pond in the tiger habitat.  


Connor came out at about 9:30 on Sunday morning.


Within just a couple of minutes he was busy munching his way through breakfast.

Pride of Madiera and Cactus - Balboa Park (San Diego)

There is a nice little Desert Garden next to the Rose Garden in San Diego's Balboa Park.  We wandered through there early on Sunday evening.





There is only small Pride of Madiera in this garden, but we found it at just the right time in bloom.

Blossoms - Japanese Friendship Garden - Balboa Park - San Diego

We stopped in to check out the Spring bloom at the Japanese Friendship Garden in Balboa Park in San Diego about a week ago.  It was a very nice early evening walk.










Heather and I were not the only ones enjoying an early evening stroll through one of the nicest gardens in San Diego.  An annual membership here is quite worthwhile, allowing you to pop in and out whenever you want.

Snow Day - Amur Leopard - San Diego Zoo

It was a "snow day" for the Asian Cats at the San Diego Zoo yesterday.  I spent some time watching the Amur Leopard explore around the fresh snow in her habitat.
