Pictures of a San Diego Excursion

I realized it's been a while since I posted some original photos from my excursions in and around the San Diego area.  Recently, my daughter and I went to the Wild Animal Park in Escondido.  It was a decent time.  I would recommend, that if you are going there, make sure you get on the trams and safari tours.  You simply can't appreciate the place the way its intended if you don't.

We did get a lot of walking around done, and with an eight year old, that's saying something.  I did get a few pictures taken, several of which came out well, so I thought I'd post them up for your consideration.  Remember, I'm not a professional photographer, just a novice.  Hopefully I've captured something that will inspire you.

Enjoy!

View of Wild Animal Park

This is a great view of most of the park from a balcony.  The picture doesn't do the landscape justice, I'm afraid.

A subtle little waterfall

Here's a little waterfall along one of the walking paths.

A beautiful pink flower

This was my favorite shot of the day.  I'm not sure what flower this is, but the color just blew me away.

A standing crane


This guy wouldn't stand still for very long so I'm surprised this shot came out at all.  Looks like I got lucky.


Exotic Trees

These trees struck me as other-worldly.  Talk about exotic.

I took a lot more but these are my favorites.  Sometimes, I get a real blast of inspiration for my writing when I look at certain pictures.  Hopefully you'll get a sense of that too.  Feel free to comment or ask questions.  Thanks for reading, and viewing!
