Sunday, January 16, 2011. Decided in the afternoon to use my San Diego Zoological Society membership and visit the San Diego Zoo to get in some photos.
Which I should have realized before leaving was a pretty dumb idea: A Sunday, really nice weather, of course the place was slammed. When I arrived I quickly realized every parking lot within reasonable distance of the Zoo appeared full, and an overflow lot had been opened.
Obviously there were going to be mammoth crowds inside the Zoo. So I decided that was a no go, even though I could see there was still some space in the overflow lot.
I decided to instead go to the Park West area, the narrow strip of Balboa Park immediately west of highway 163. Even on the busiest days in the rest of the Park, I'm usually able to find a decent parking spot and get in a good walk and possibly some photos.
So, having gotten there, I found this Globe willow in the Trees for Health Garden. I looked it up and down and realized: AH HA, that's my next alphabet series entry AND a nice new triptych. Viola!
