Nothing is flowing from my brain to fingers to keyboard. It has been a long few weeks, and I am tired. My beloved returns to work tomorrow at school, and the house will be quiet. I can write then.
Below are family photos taken at San Diego's Wild Safari Park near us. We had a grand time, walked all over, laughed, ate ice cream, posed for photos, and loved each other.

Statue of elephant by tram. The real elephants are kept apart, not on display for many reasons, some of which are for humane reasons, breeding, and safety.
Be back in a day or so. Maybe my brain will remember stuff by then.
Pictures are a good substitute when our brains and fingers disconnect....
ReplyDeleteThe next few days will feel like vacation. Maybe sometime during that respite writing will be possible.
DeleteWhen brains don't work grab a pic haha nice shots
ReplyDeleteSafari Park is a great source for photos. Should do it more.
DeleteLove the photographs. Sorry you are so tired, really hope you feel stronger soon. Carole.
ReplyDeleteSome quiet will be wonderful.
DeleteHaving a wonderful time. Title of the pictures. I wish you wonderful times for all the year of 2014.
ReplyDeleteAnd for you as well..
DeleteLove the rhino pic :)
ReplyDeleteThe rhino is the symbol of the Park, which instituted breeding programs for endangered species. Every school aged child I've ever seen in the Park climbs on the rhino. It is difficult to get them to climb down.
DeletePictures are good when words are lagging. Happy Three Kings Day!
ReplyDeleteTo you as well, Bish! Now I will have to check out Three Kings Day.
DeleteThe holidays are so intense and draining!
ReplyDeleteI'd be interested in hearing why the elephants are segregated for humanitarian reasons. Not enough display room, or people harassing them. Or both? Or neither?
It' is a story, indeed. Basically, elephants need more room, even though this Park is generous. No animals are caged, but instead have a savannah about which to roam. The carnivores have their own area, with greater security.
DeleteFun place to visit.
ReplyDeleteTell your brain just to enjoy the prolonged vacation.
My brain needs a long vacation, silence, and a few good books.
DeleteHi Susan,
ReplyDeleteThe Wild Safari Park in San Diego looks to be a real nice place to visit. I use photos and then just figure out what the heck I'm going to write. Besides, dear Susan, just write when you want to without feeling obliged.
All the best,
Gary :)
I never feel obliged...but I want to produce something that is reflective with tuned words. Definitely not feeling the music today.
DeleteI wish you could visit that Park...
Gorgeous. Come back when you are ready. And I know the feeling of needing a holiday after a holiday.
ReplyDeleteYes...need to stop all that having fun business for a while.
DeleteFun time at the zoo! I need to go to the zoo, but I'll wait until it's warmer.
ReplyDeleteI hope your fingers start flyin' soon!
These photos were taken on 12/23. We needed light jackets, but it was a clear gorgeous day.
DeleteSome fun shots
ReplyDeleteThanks--there were more, but we were all silly in those.
DeleteLooks like you had a great time. I also love it when the kids are home. It is so much fun.
ReplyDeleteMy son carried one or the other of his nieces on his shoulders most of the time. They love him.
DeleteI LOVE the elephant. Looks like a really good zoo.
ReplyDeleteThe statuary in the park is excellent.
