Nice weather for ducks

In our backyard this morning:

Also in our backyard:

Which is why the ducks are gone.

Magic, the cat, finally started to stalk them, so I had to intervene. The ducks flew away, and I doubt they’ll be picking our yard for their nest.

Photos were taken with my new Tamron telephoto lens, through the glass window of the slider. I forgot to readjust white balance on the first shot from indoor to shade which is why the grass seems so much bluer than in the subsequent photos. More on Flickr.

SciFi Sunday: Short Subject

04.27.2008 by Susan Getgood //

Still getting over the jetlag from the trip back from California, so SciFi Sunday tonight is going to be a short comment that I was disappointed with last Friday’s Battlestar Galactica. Let’s call it the Cylon adjustment episode — the focus was mainly on the three of the frakked four who are still with the Fleet. I don’t dislike Tory or Chief, but I just wasn’t that interested in their turmoil, or not, at Cally’s death. Tigh, on the other hand, was more interesting but I thought they drew the device of Ellen/Six out way too long. Not enough Lee, Kara, Roslin or Adama.

Back to our regularly scheduled sci fi conversation next week. In the meantime, enjoy this picture of Douglas feeding Pewani, a 9-10 year old giraffe, at San Diego Wild Animal Park.

Today, I am sitting in my hotel room in Santa Rosa while Douglas and David continue to enjoy San Diego and the Lawrence Welk Resort (tiny bubbles…) in Escondido. I’m up here for two days for New Comm Forum, flying back south tomorrow evening.

Sunday we spent the day at Legoland followed by dinner in Oceanside.

Monday, as the title of this post suggests, we went to the San Diego Zoo and had Mexican food for dinner in Old Town San Diego.
