I Like Pigeons Because Nobody Else Does

Mr Hanzawa and I had a great weekend, thanks to lousy weather. San Diego was recipent of quite a bit of rainfall on Sunday morning so we spent the morning at the Natural History Museum visiting the Pompeii exhibit and, when it stopped raining, ventured over to the zoo. We almost had the run of both places and it was fantastic. Monday brought clear skies, so we hiked 6 miles in Cuyamaca Rancho State Park before he caught the Amtrak train back to Los Angeles.

Gene and I went to the zoo today for the first time. I got a lot of good photos, but I really need to return on a weekday when the crowds aren’t so bad and I can take my time. Here’s a shot of a spotted hyena, Crocuta crocuta:

and an unflattering shot of a grizzly bear, Ursus arctos horribilis:

Imagine how pissed he’d be if he knew I posted a photo of him saying “duuhhh”.

That’s it for now. I have lots of photos, but will dole them out a few at a time.
