Hummingbirds

Humming birds are very common around here.  I found this nest in the neighborhood.  These eggs are so small.  I had to take the picture quick because Mama bird came home and was not happy to find me near her babies.

Mineral Water

Apparently at one point in time, Carlsbad was famous for it's mineral water.  The man who discovered the source of the mineral water is also one of the founder's of the City of Carlsbad.  Who knew?  I didn't.  Until I saw this statue just a few blocks from the main downtown area.  His name is John A. Frazier.  The mineral water source has been re-opened and you can get your fill here.  I'll have to try this out some day.

Hiking

This is a great time to hike around Carlsbad.  The weather is beautiful, there is actually green grass to be found and best of all...the snakes are still sleeping.  At least for a few more weeks I hope.  Green hills + blue skies = happiness.  This picture is from some trails at the end of Camino Junipero.

Sunrise

Sometimes when you have two kids nights don't go as planned and you find yourself awake at two in the morning and then again at three and then four.  By 4:30, I just got up and started my day.  Here is a picture in the neighborhood at sunrise.

View from the zoo

Wow.  I really dropped the ball in 2011.  House guests and a dead computer are my excuses.  The sun is finally shining again so we had to make the most of it with a trip to the San Diego Zoo.  Here is a view of downtown from the Skyfari.
