Sit Stay Heal
I see benches everywhere but no one sitting on them. Even at the bus stops, people won’t sit on the benches, for some reason preferring to stand.
1 – Wagon bench
2 – Old Town San Diego bench
3 – Back yard bench
4 – Park bench at SeaWorld San Diego
5 – Tijuana River Estuary bench
6 – Park bench on Catalina Island
7 – Park bench at the San Diego Zoo’s Safari Park
8 – Bench at San Diego Botanic Garden
9 – Bench at San Diego Botanic Garden
10 – Park bench on Catalina Island
11 – Bench at Cuyamaca Water Conservation Garden
12 – Bus stop bench at 70th Street Station
13 – Hotel bench near the San Diego Convention Center
Maybe my next set of bench pictures will require a tripod and camera remote control, to be titled “Self portraits on benches.” Or something like that.

Friday Flower Fiesta — #12 (April 13, 2012)
For this week’s Friday Flower Fiesta, a selection of pictures taken in March throughout San Diego.
Pictures 1, 2, and 3 were taken in Balboa Park, the crown jewel of parks in San Diego County and the largest city-owned urban cultural park in the United States, according to the San Diego Convention and Visitors Bureau, and who am I to argue with them? I questioned them on it one time because there are three parks with more acreage: Mission Trails Regional Park right here in San Diego, Central Park in New York City, and Griffith Park in Los Angeles. The key word in the Visitors Bureau publicity is the word cultural. None of the other three parks are cultural parks. Now I understand.
The rest of the pictures were taken at The Water Conservation Garden at Cuyamaca College.
Now that we have that out of the way, Friday Flower Fiesta #12:

PICTURE OF THE MOMENT
This morning I was scheduled to do a home inspection in Spring Valley, not too far from The Water Conservation Garden at Cuyamaca College in Rancho San Diego:
My post late last night about the silkoak (I guess cutting some flowers for the kitchen table is out of the question) reminded me that the proteas should be blooming at The Garden. Sure enough, they were, and I’ll have lots of pictures in one of tomorrow’s posts.
As I was walking around The Garden taking Pictures (I took 356 in just a little over an hour), I felt like I was being watched. I looked to my left toward an open area and saw this:
I walked on and found that guy sticking his tongue out at me:
Na na na na na na.
