Halloween 2009 / Julie, Bert and Chase are Pirates!

I took these photos of Julie, Bert and Chase before they left for their Halloween party at Mariana's and Gary's house. Chase was very excited about being a pirate and seeing his mommy and daddy all dressed up too. But, he discovered that costumes are not very comfortable and did some complaining...In the end, he had a big time trick-or-treating with all the kids at the party. Bert magically transformed his wagon into a pirate's ship! Way to go Daddy!

Camera Critters #82 / Meerkats at the Los Angeles Zoo

I went to the Los Angeles Zoo a few days ago. I think these little meerkats are my favorite critter! I could watch their antics for hours. They are quite the little sentinels! They are so quick to change their positions and they take their group responsibilities very seriously! What cute little critters they are!

Early evening sky about a week ago at Balboa Beach, California. It wasn't stormy...just a thick fog rolling in off the ocean. It created an amazing sky!

True Colours Thursday / "Black"

True Colors for this week is "Black." This is a Silver Back Gorilla my little grandson and I saw at the Los Angeles Zoo yesterday. The male was off "rough housing" with the baby while mom had a few minutes to herself! She seemed very contemplative... and, look at those feet!

The World in Black and White / Fence or Mural?

This is just one section of a fence at the Los Angeles Zoo. I am looking forward to posting other sections of this same fence in the next few days. It is also posted at "The World in Black and White," and looks even better on the black background of that meme!
