Pixie

It's amazing how an animal can become such a part of your life.
I don't take nearly enough pictures of this little cutie.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Happy Valentine's Day everybody! I hope you all had as good of a day as I did!

My hubby is so silly. After making breakfast he cut the toast to look like hearts. (AWW). And, why yes. I do love my eggs scrambled, over cooked, and browned. It's really the only way to eat eggs. Well, unless you make it a omelet. But that's a whole other story....

This year we were going to have a "Shoestring Valentines". So in honor of that we only used gift cards and memberships the whole day. So we headed to the LA Zoo! It was a beautiful day, I swear the high was in the 90's, which made for a fantastic day!

We ran across this beautiful peacock while attempting to take a short cut.

I tried taking some "artsy" pictures instead of my usual 500 animal pictures.

I'm apparently a sucker for animals that look like little rats. All day I couldn't stop pointing out the cute rat looking animals. Like the meerkats. This little guy stole my heart.

Look at him! Just sitting there chilling. Acting like no one is looking at him.

Ok, maybe he did notice ....

Then there are the prairie dogs. This little guy came right up to me and sat there. I'm telling you, he was asking to have his picture taken!

There was also this little guy. I'm not sure what he is, but he sat here until I was done taking his picture. Then a family showed up behind me and he ran away. So cute!

And last but not least, a little texture shot to end the day!

What did you do for Valentine's Day?

Nature: Deer

A couple blocks from where we live, the mountains meet the street. And sometimes if you get lucky the wildlife meets the city. Usually in Southern California the wildest it gets is squirrels. But at the top of this street the deer from the local hills like to come down an put on a show.

I had seen two boy deer when I drove by earlier and when Doug mentioned taking the dog on a walk around the neighborhood I couldn't help but bring my camera in hopes that the deer were still there. Unfortunately the boys weren't around, but six of there girlfriends were!

They were amazing. I could practically walk right up to them and pet them! They were just so beautiful!
