San Diego Zoo is big. Maybe not the largest zoo we’ve been to in terms of physical size, but definitely in “animals-per-hectare” (my new metric for this sort of thing). I flagged 111 photos to process, and it was taking me so long I decided to take a break and move on to other sets. Here are a few photos from the first ~1/3 of the day.

Sunset Cliffs

Back in January, Michelle and I spent a week in San Diego with my good friend Pat and his wife, Amanda. We had a great time enjoying the warm weather in January, taking in the sights, and eating lots of amazing food. These photos are from Sunset Cliffs, a city park on the Pacific ocean. We watched the surfers at sunset, and even saw what I’m told were whales spouting!
