Experience wonder each new day

It took me 5 weeks to detox from the internet. While I didn’t do anything as drastic as shaving my head a la Brittney Spears, I did do a lot of playing and a lot of driving (4000+ miles ROAD TRIP) and only came back to the internet when I realized that I missed my blogging.

As I stepped out the door, I was hit by the sun filtering through the clouds and a humidity that I was more accustomed to when living in the South. For a moment, the highway beside the trail cleared and in the brief quiet from road noise, I was surrounded by the soft croaking of an army of frogs. I was taken back to those sultry southern summer nights and the tree frogs that lived around the swimming pool. Each night I drifted of to sleep to the sound of Whippoorwills, Cicadas, and tree frogs while the sweet scent of honeysuckle drifted in through my open bedroom windows.
Just as quickly as it cleared, the highway traffic returned and the quiet moment of communing with the tree frogs ended.

Our last day in California was spent at the San Diego Zoo–world famous for its animal breeding program. By random chance, dumb luck, and a little favor from God, we got to see the results of the famous animal breeding program.
San Diego Zoo Baby Gorilla
On Friday, March 6, Frank, a western lowland gorilla was introduced to the public for the first time. Frank was born in September and weighs about 13 pounds now. Interesting, our little Wiggles was born in November and weighs about 14 lbs now. By the time Frank is full grown (at about 15 years) he will weigh over 400 lbs. Hopefully Wiggles will never tip the scales at 400 lbs.
For more pictures of Frank (and other baby zoo animals) go to What’s New at the San Diego Zoo and click on “Animals”
Here’s a picture of the Flamingos because they are pretty in pink.
