I have been a great fan of
Wyland for years. Ever since my first trip to Hawaii, and my
first viewing of one of his Whaling Walls. He's painted 85
Whaling Walls - his term for the gigantic outdoor murals that he has
painted on buildings all over the world. His goal is to paint
100 of them by 2011.
His website is totally redone -
and absolutely awesome.
Use the High Speed connection
pathway if at all possible. It wasn't too bad on my 56K modem.
Be sure to have your sound card on - there are great ocean sounds,
sounds of whales.
We have a membership at the San
Diego Zoo - the worlds best zoo. It means free admissions for
a year. But even it we don't get to go very often, it still
supports a very good cause.

This is the baby Panda. This was taken
when she was first starting to sleep in the tree, and was just
starting to wake up and move around the morning that we were
there. She just rolled around on the branch, being
really cute. If you go to the
zoo site, they have video clips of her in action, and I
captured a couple of pics from the
zoo's photo album.

| She and her mom have been moved
to separate enclosures now - she's over a year old, and
Panda's are not social creatures. They needed to
separate them so that mom could maybe get pregnant again.
They don't appear to miss each other. This is Hua Mei in
her own enclosure |

The is Hua Mei's mom having
breakfast - working on her bamboo. |

This is one of the polar bears at Polar Bear
Plunge. (Almost looks like a Coca-Cola commercial,
doesn't it?)
He was very active, playing with his ball.
He would push it up on the rock (behind him) then climb up on
the rock, push the ball into the water, then jump in after it.
I took one shot of that, but all you can see is the splash.
