I walked Calliope along the north bike path next to the San Diego River, and this is a view of the first bridge that you will cross under, if you are coming into Mission Bay from the Pacific.

I do not think Fiesta Island should be open on the weekends in the time of COVID. This is the traffic jam leaving the island. It took me most of an hour to get off the island. And addition to the backup on the road, you can see the parking area is also full. I saw no masks, and social distancing was nonexistant.

This is Calliope and her friend Chuy. Callie is sitting down in the water asking me, "Why doesn’t Chuy want to play in the deeper water?"

A mated pair of Mourning Doves, taking a break in the evening sun, just before sunset. The day has been good for them. They have eaten, loved, and are alive.

Here we see Calliope scanning the brush for rabbit targets. … One of these days I will get her with all four feet off the ground as she leaps and bounds off into the brush.

Argiope Lobeta, the brown Art, on Fiesta island. Spiders have a tendency to become the color of the landscape over time. If this were a Silver Argiope, it would not hang around for very long in this brown area of Fiesta Island.

Unlike other wasps, they do not have stripes or other markings. They have the standard wasp body with large wings, large head and eyes, a very tiny, thin waist and then a large back end. What sets the great black wasp apart from others is that they can grow up to 1 – 1.3 inches in length.

Ny niece, Lena, said they look like Faries when she saw them.
