Speechless Sunday at the San Diego Zoo: May I have a ride?

By
Real Estate Agent with HomeSmart Realty West CalBRE #01458572

I like fish ponds, especially when they are stocked with koi.

The San Diego Zoo has a very large koi ponds right by one of the restaurants, so I guess one could eat fish while watching fish. Actually, I've never eaten at the restaurant there, so I don't know. What I do know is that the fish are fun to watch, especially since there are also are lots of ducks and turtles in the pond, too.

Recently, I guess one of the ducks needed a ride, so he called a Yellow Taxi:

What a great photo. Ducks sure have of always putting a smile on peoples' faces. I guess all living creatues need a helping hand sometimes.

I hope you'll remember me if you learn of anyone moving to "The OC" and I will do the same!

Best regards.

HI Jim - Now that is an odd couple!  What a grab to be able to get that photo.  That shot is worth some money.

That is funny! What a great moment to have caught on film. And I'd love to see it with some marketing captions as Andrea suggested :)

Hi Jim: Great photo - did you know that watching fish has been shown to reduce your blood pressure and stress levels?

Hey, Michael - I could watch the ducks at the Zoo all day long and never get tired.

Hey, Andrea - I suspect that we have a few thousand pictures here capable of being used in marketing.

Hey, Susan - The Zoo worker was feeding the ducks and koi, and I think these two were fighting for the best position to get the most food.

Hey, Shoshana - I'm saving some of our best pictures to use in my marketing.

Hey, Matt - Yes. I used to have a 75-gallon and a 55-gallon aquarium. When we got rid of them, my blood pressure went up. Coincidence? I don't know. But it's come back down some since we've had Zoey the Cool Cat. Russel's blood pressure has dropped significantly size Zoey came into our household. He's not even on blood pressure medicine anymore.

Hey, Vegas Bob - I think the two of them were fighting for positioning since the Zoo worker was throwing feed into the pond.
