Butterfly Jungle at the San Diego Safari Park in an annual event designed to promote the conservation of endangered species. Since it is unique there is always a wait and crowds. This was my first visit in years and even with a 30 minute wait and crowds of people, it was worth it.  The event ended today. If you go next year, pass up the front of the enclosure since that's where everyone stops upon entry and to go the exit side. Better opportunities there to take the close up pictures. Sometimes, very close up pictures!

Not the Flower Fields - the community park behind a Trader Joe's. It's a small space and has a small patch of blooming flowers that are impressive in their own right.  Seems perfect for Easter.  Enjoy the weekend!

Last night's slim chance of rain actually happened and the dissolving clouds made for a great beach walk! Surfers were out and while you don't see them since I avoided them, vacationers and families were scattered about the sand. The weather was warming up which means summer is nearly upon us and it's looking like another hot one. For now, I'll continue to enjoy Spring in the Pacific.  

With Tray 8, I have officially passed the 30% mark of Invisalign treatment. I still can't figure out why my top teeth that I thought never would need treatment are the ones that have straightened out the most. The lower teeth which I thought weren't moving at all, have moved so much that at Thursday's cleaning, the dental hygienist was super excited to find new areas to scrap away at. The dentist was happy, so if they're happy then I'm good. The top tray seems to be smoother this week so I hope it's leveling off.
