Malayan Tigers Cinta and Berani - San Diego Zoo

Malayan Tiger brothers Cinta and Berani having a brotherly discussion the other day, at the San Diego Zoo.  From what I could see, Cinta would have preferred to continue with his nap, while Berani wanted to play.  Or something like that; who really knows.

A Little Different Kind of Zoo Animal

Last June we spent a few hours at the San Diego Zoo's Safari Park.  It was cloudy that morning, so I took advantage of the fairly flat light to get some photos of these otherwise hard to capture zoo animals . . . sort of.

There were Lions . . .


There were Tigers . . . 


And even Bears.


The Fishing Cat was pretty cool . . .


. . . And so was the Cheetah.


They even had a Red Panda . . . 


. . . and a Giant Panda.

The J. Paul Getty Museum - Los Angeles, California

Here are a few images from the J. Paul Getty Museum taken earlier this year.  For me, the architecture and grounds are as impressive as the collections.








We had dinner in the Getty Restaurant, which is excellent.  This is what we shared for dessert, a deconstructed lemon tart.

The Book of Beasts - Getty Museum, Los Angeles

We drove up to the J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles earlier this year to check out an exhibition of illuminated manuscripts called The Book of Beasts.













We were there for the closing weekend of the exhibit, but there are always lots of great things to see at the Getty.
