Friday Night Photos Safari Park Edition

Submitted by Socialprogressive on Fri, 02/07/2025 - 5:00pm

Welcome to Friday Night Photos everyone. Your once a week break from the daily madness of the crazy world we live in. Post any photos, memes, music, or whatever else you find of interest that helps you escape the madness.

We got a little bit of rain last night and there's heavy mist as I'm writing this, this morning . It's supposed to be partly sunny and mild tomorrow through Monday and then maybe a slight chance of rain for the rest of next week. We shall see. I topped off the car while I was out grocery shopping earlier this morning. The price has been holding steady at $4.29 a gal for the last few weeks. As for groceries, eggs were $13.49 for 1 1/2 doz. $5 for 1 lb of ground beef and $2.50 for a 4oz can of tuna. Hope things are a little more affordable in your neck of the woods.

Some of our favorite friends at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park.

The horn section. I like that.
Beautiful sunset shot. I love the colors. Great looking stone wall. I wonder how long it took to build?

I'm great at multi-tasking. I can waste time, be unproductive, and procrastinate all at the same time.

give or take a few restacks, falling trees, crazy oxen driving tractors
and occasional drunk drivers. It is a geologists wet dream. Mostly
granite and quartz, some slate; lots of lichen and moss for color.
Cheers!

You live in a very beautiful part of the world.

I'm pretty sure the stones were moved to cultivate land and define borders, natives or immigrant farmers, I don't know? The walls, whoever built them though, are a pleasure to see in their environment of old trees, buildings and gardens. It has lots of character.

Thanks for taking us on safari with you. One question, are the gorilla's meals delivered by UPS?

Some safari music ...

Not UPS, FedEx. Food delivered in paper bags is one of the many different ways the keepers use to make the gorillas work to get to their food.
I like the song. I don't know what they're singing about but the music is really upbeat.

or frustrated ones. I suppose they are more dextrous than we are, but it hardly looks that way. They need scissors!

Raindrops and sunspots ...

Unfortunately, we have had concerningly little rain in almost 2 months. If you have any rain songs that might help, please send them ; ).

Enjoy the weekend

I hope you get some rain soon. If it gets real bad do what I call the paleface rain dance, wash your car. There's something about a newly washed car that seems to attract rain.
