Temple, its very nice. ( I hope you guys like the awesome lens-flare in that picture)
Jolena, outside of the temple looking quite cute as she chats with her Aunt Bianca.
Cool Flower at Balboa Park
Same as above. But different flower, the same caption applies.
A rather odd yellow bird.
Jolena and her Grandma Kitty. Yeah, she's 83 and a die-hard Padre's fan. She enjoyed getting our to the game.
I took a long walk to the far side of the stadium to get some cool pictures of the game and notice an orange dot right about where I was previously sitting. It's Jolena wearing my orange sweater. You can see her just to the right of the foul marker. (Yeah, we had good seats)
A Victoria Crowned Pidgeon at the Wild Animal Park. (That's about the same size of pidgeons we get in Nevada, just kidding this thing is the size of a medium sized turkey)
A cool little gazelle type deal. This guys just about the same size as my aunt and uncle's Italian Greyhound Stella.
What's wrong with this snake? Correct, the head is not connected. Jolena's uncle, JP, killed this rattle snake, not because he hates snakes or any thing like that, but where they live, they really don't have another resource for when there is a poisonous serpent in their backyard. It was kinda gruesome.
So, it was a great trip. Much fun was had by all, and I want to thank Jolena's awesome family members who made our stay so much easier; Mike and Bianca, JP and Maria, and Grandma Kitty. You guys are great!
Ps we also went to the beach, and to a few muesums at Balboa, took a tour with Mike and Bianca of down town SD, but we didn't any pictures from those events. :(
no beach pics??? jkjk. I love the pictures and i especially love the one of the snake, although if Harry were there then he could have spoke parceltongue to him and told him to leave. But then you wouldnt have gotten that gruesome picture so....eh either way. I want to go to SAN DIEGO! the temple picture is beautiful btw. You should check out annettes pic too, she was there the weekend before you got there.
ReplyDeleteone other thing--i find it odd that there is so little blood and that the rattle is still up...and I notice a similarity between the snake and the giraffe--perhaps it was in their backyard as well and grandpa took a shovel to its neck?
ReplyDeletewell, it was uncle not grandpa and it was a pair of hedge clippers, and the whole body of the snake was like a lizards tail for hours, all wiggly, hence the upwards rattle. And there was a good amount of blood. yum yum!
