This past Sunday there was no weekly trip to the Zoo because my sweetie-wife and I went to see 28 Years Later and there was no zoo expedition the previous Sunday because that was my weekend of migraine headaches. That’s not a recommended weekend, by the way.

However, we did go to the zoo on June 19th. My sweetie-wife has that federally recognized holiday off and I took the day off to share it with her.

The bird in this photo is a Western Bluebird and it is not an animal on exhibit at the San Diego Zoo but a wild creature that came into the enclosure with California Condors and the Common Raven. I really like the way the photo turned out. The subject is really nicely isolated from the background both by color and by the depth of field. None of the other picture I snapped that day are even close in how much I like them.
