Z is for Zebras, Zip-lining, and, of course, Zoo

Z in the sky here in Alberta


Z is for Zip-lining, which Dick tried in Jamaica a few years ago. I did not try it. I didn't even watch him trying it. The instructor took this photo of Dick looking somewhat dubious, while I was miles away doing something much safer.

And Z is for Zoo, a subject about which I could go on and on and on!!

In the top photo are some Zebras dining at the San Diego Zoo's Wild Animal Park, now known as the San Diego Zoo Safari Park.

Below, we have more Zebras, shown with their friends at the Zoo at Busch Gardens in Florida.

Reflecting on some summery locations

We live in a dry part of Canada. It is also the sunniest part of the whole country. But right now we have precipitation. White precipitation, lots of it. It is still snowing and the forecast says it won't stop until Tuesday. Therefore, I thought I'd reflect on some of the sunny places we've visited, just to make myself feel sunnier, and it worked.
As I looked at pictures from some of our favorite trips, one of my favorite blogs to follow, Sylvia from Over the Hill, came up on my site with the beautiful photos Sylvia had posted for Weekend Reflections, and it gave me another idea. Thanks, Sylvia.
So, here I have two 2006 shots from one of our favorite places, San Diego, California. The first is from the San Diego Zoo Wild Animal Park, now known as the San Diego Zoo Safari Park. The second was taken in downtown San Diego. We were quite near the beautiful old Santa Fe train station, waiting for something, maybe a bus to take us to Petco Park for a ballgame, when my husband wanted to wander off with his camera for a while. We had some extra time, so I agreed.
Away he went, while I happily hung out with the pigeons by the fountain in front of the train station, being a person addicted to trains and train stations. (The photo on my profile page was taken at Union Station in Toronto during my solo trip to the east coast of Canada by train.) Dick came back in good time and one of the pictures in his camera was this one of buildings reflected in other buildings.

This is my first contribution to the Weekend Reflections meme. Maybe it won't be my last.

To see what others found when they were feeling reflective,
