Picture Post!

Sorry about my lack of posts this weekend - hope this makes up for it!
Spent three days in San Diego - took a friend to the city for the first time, and visited family for Rosh Hashanah (Jewish high holidays.)
The picture above is Seaport Village - a park adjacent to downtown that looks over San Diego bay, and across to Coronado Bridge.



Polar bear calisthenics at the San Diego Zoo...



We were about two feet from this lioness's face, and getting that close to something that can bite your head off cleanly... well. It was something.



Spooning tigres. Awww.



We also went to Julian and picked apples and pears and had apple pie - it's one of my favorite spots in the world.



And one final stop - Cuyamaca Lake in the Cleveland National Forest - it was pretty sad to see the fireline still standing clear in the hills above the lake from the 2007 wildfires. And now, back to reality!
