A Favorite Place- Day 2

My second day in San Diego I checked out the zoo, thanks to a generous friend who shared her season passes with me, and let me meet her darling kiddos.  At the end of the day I walked around Balboa Park some more, and caught a belly dancing troupe and a second performance of a didjeridoo player.

A belly dancer and her pet snake.


What a cool Noah's Ark necklace!

I don't know what you are, but you're cute...



Can you tell I liked these pandas?

A Favorite Place-- Day 1

Hi everyone! Thanks for visiting the blog (some of you more often than I even do)! It's been a little while since I posted with any sense of regularity, but I got to go to a favorite place last week, and I thought I'd share with you some of the images I took while I was there.

Whenever I'm not in southern California, the one place I miss, long for, and wish wasn't so far away is Balboa Park. There's always something going on there, and as it turns out, this time there were many things going on at once. A dance recital (which I never found my way to!), an orchid show, a Steampunk cosplay meet-up celebrating the 7th year of my favorite steampunk band: Steam Powered Giraffe! (Congrats, guys, on your lasting success!) And as always, museums, museums, museums! ... and an organ concert hall! 

These are just the pictures from day one. 

Enjoy!

How did you get there, lil' guy?

This looks like a good place for the one selfie..



Creepy Darling...


Thank you!
