Surf’s Up!
Dan and I went out Sunday morning for breakfast and a photo safari. We stopped in Pacific Beach to watch the surfers and then up to Windansea Beach where Dan posed for me on what we decided looked like a giant lobster rock. The weather couldn’t have been nicer and it was great to get outside. Enjoy!

Summer Daze 2011
Dan (SanDanDiego) has been going through his summer photo collection and sent me this photo. This photo brings back memories because this seal simply came out of the ocean and perched itself on a nearby rock at Windansea Beach. Also, right after this photo was taken I was smashed against the rocks by a huge wave… suffered a few cuts and bruises, but saved the camera 
Finally, click here if you’d like to see the photos I got of this sea lion before I was washed away.

Hummingbird Aviary
Who knew there was a hummingbird aviary at the San Diego Zoo? Well, if you didn’t know, you’re not alone… I didn’t know either until my friend, Dan, found it last week. It’s located near the Children’s petting zoo. It’s not too big and tucked away so not too many people were around which makes it a fun place to go. Here are a few of my favorite photos from my visit to the aviary. Enjoy!

America’s Cup
This weekend was the beginning of the America’s Cup Series in San Diego. They’re racing 75 foot catamarans in this series and they can travel up to 30 miles per hour… that’s pretty quick for a sailboat. The series started on Saturday, but it was pouring down rain so we didn’t go, but what a difference a day can make. Yesterday was sunny and warm so we heading down to the Broadway Pier to watch the races. Here are a few photos from my day on the bay. Enjoy!

Parks & Recreation
We’ve had rain the past couple of day, but it stopped for the most part late Sunday afternoon so I headed over to Balboa Park. There’s a large building at the end of the park and I always wondered what it was so I checked it out. Turns out the building is the headquarters for the Balboa Parks & Recreation Department. Upon further inspection I found these wonderful architectural structures along side and behind the building. There’s also a beautiful tiled fountain in the middle of the grounds. Enjoy!

Early Morning in Balboa Park
We’ve been having some “weather” lately so I decided to head over to Balboa Park before work. It’s such a beautiful place to watch the sun rise and peaceful at that hour of the morning. Enjoy!
