pictures from san diego

"children's cove"-- a place they built for kids to play at the ocean, but has been taken over by seal mommies and pups. hmmm, hard to decide which should take precedence.

below: proof that snoopy enjoyed california as much as A.
beautiful, huge koi.
h20 lilies and a koi tail.
about 1/4 mile away from the koi, an entire cactus garden overlooking the canyon. otherworldly. and of course, A had to touch one and regretted it immediately.
the most gorgeous golden koi I have ever seen. about 2 feet long too.
the kelp forest at the aquarium.
a huge, 100 foot tree. a bit taller and I would have expected Galadriel to come swooping down to meet me.

scroll down my blog here for other stuff I posted. it's a bit of a mess.
