Today I hit up the San Diego Zoo.. and although I thought all the animals were beautiful in their own ways, I was most excited about seeing a hawk and a lizard which weren’t actually part of the exhibits (see them below). The plant life there was also pretty unbelievable, including a tree that looked like it had an owl’s face in the bark.

Image above is tonight’s sunset from my hotel room window.. so pretty (I’m on the 31st floor so I have some pretty killer views). I’d love to come back out to this region with my camera and explore nature outside of a controlled environment. I read that San Diego County is the most bio-diverse county in the country. That’s pretty cool.
