I found ET! He’s living at the San Diego Safari Park!
I know it’s shocking to think that he’s picked up a smoking habit.
But look at that stogie!
What do you expect with him homesick for his planet, and stuck all these years in Southern California? I’m surprised he’s not surfing.
Cheers to you from ET and all his extraterrestrial (Waller Gazelle) buddies at the San Diego Safari Park~

It’s wonderful, the photographs of the gazelle.
Beautiful creatures aren’t they!
ET needs go home!!!!! LOL LOL LOL
Send ET HOME! With some nicorette!
Yes, that is a strange looking fellow there. Shewing a long stick like that is similar to Panda. Panda shews bamboo sticks like that too but more like a person put a tooth pick in the mouth rather.
Yes, I have seen pandas do this and you are right it does look like a person with a tooth pick. I am afraid ET has picked up some bad habits here in Southern California! 😉
Cindy – These photos are just precious and your comments with them are priceless. Thank you for sharing them with us and for brightening up my evening…
Hope your evening is most beautiful and your Valentine’s Day filled with wonderful moments…
Awwww, so lovely & so appreciated! Happy Valentines Day to you~
So Cool Cindy. Thanks
ET is cool isn’t he! 😉 Glad you like him & cheers~
Cute little fellow – looks like he’s smoking a cigarette!
Sad, but true! 😉
Thanks for the smiles, Cindy. Gorgeous creatures! Happy Valentine’s. 😍
Visa versa 2 U X 2!
Absolutely charming! 🙂
He’s pretty darn cute for a smoker isn’t he!! 😉 😉
Oh he is too cute – even with the stogie, lol! 😉
My thoughts exactly, but I think my husband is cute with his cigar too! 😉
Ha ha, my husband hides whenever he lights up, which I think is HILARIOUS. As if a breath-mint is really going to disguise anything, it only makes it more obvious, lol! 🙂
I am sure he learned this invaluable strategy in high school! I know I did. 😉
lol! looks like they are learning from us at last 😛
Poor extras! The sin and sun of Caly is getting to them~
I’m actually curious how nature is adapting to the changes, All over the world weather patterns are shifting :-\
Yes. It is scary. In SoCal we are still in terrible drought. No & Central Caly have gotten tons of rain, but we have not. The last week has been in the low 80 degrees F all week. Not good~
Perfect title. Humorous captions. This fella’s got character.
He does and he will smoke in non-designated areas, thank you very much, as the whole park is such! 😉
Just looking at this makes me happy! Smoking a stogie is ok, as long as you never light it……
Laughing! A smoke free stogie, what an excellent idea! I wonder if my husband will go for it……
Beautiful photo, although it looks like she’s smoking a Virginia Slim! 😀
Laughing, or a cigarillo. You are probably too young to have seen the ads, “Cigars, cigarettes, cigarillo?”
Omg, that is totally adorable!
The eyes are irresistable aren’t they!
Oooh, how cute! ET, love you!!!
Extraterristerials are da best! <3
LOL – this is great! I think the Waller is better looking than ET, but only marginally! 😉
Laughing, I see your point!
He really is sweet!
Leslie
Big. brown, doe-eyes, with very long lashes!
They are quite lovely aren’t they?
Leslie
<3
I have a smile on my face as I type, Cindy…thanks! 🙂
Oh good! Mission accomplished & Happy V Day~
The little bloke just wanted a smoke. 🙂 So cute. From what breed or species is he from? He looks like one from a gizele or giraffe.
You get a double A+! He is a Wallers Gazelle. I have no idea why they like to smoke though……
Beautiful animals, and great photos!
Very pleased you enjoyed them!
Beautiful done, both photos and commentary 🙂
Awwww, so motivating! Thank you~
They look so delicate, Cindy, but elegantly beautiful. Hugs !
They are just peaceful and gorgeous! Hugz & Happy V Day cuz~
Cute little guy. Thanks for sharing with us.
Thank you more for appreciating him, errrr….or her!
No way…that is just too sad!
I know. I am broken up about it.
He’s so cute! And he looks exactly like a real live ET would be. 🙂 Fun post Cindy. 🙂
Hope you are doing something very fun for V Day Dor!
ET is adorable. Happy Valentine’s Day, dear Cindy! <3 🙂
And to you my wonderful friend Fae! When are you doing your transatlantic? One of these days we might be on the same boat…..
Oh my goodness, how adorable, those ears!!!
Those ears will warn him when to run!
Absolute delight! ٩(˘◡˘)۶
Awww, so motivating! Thank you & cheers to you~
🙂 Happy Valentine’s
You too my friend! <3
Such a character Cindy! Beautiful shots!
He’s a major cutey pie isn’t he!
Yes, I definitely see the amazing resemblance! You have keen eyes Cindy. Happy Valentine’s Day in advance!
Happy Valentines Day to you Lynn. I am so happy to have met you here in blogdom! <3
The feeling is mutual Cindy! Meeting you and following your blog has been an amazing experience! <3
<3 <3
He is a cutie but what is up with the cigarettes.
I think it is the bad influence of Southern California. You know Hollywood, the beach culture,
too much sunshine. We have corrupted ET.
Oh no not that. Well if he was out here in Washington state he would probably have a refer in his mouth as we voted pot in to be legal.
It could have been pot, but I didn’t want to say so……
So cute:) What a treat:)
So glad. Happy Valentines Day!
Perfect likeness! And equally cute! Thanks for sharing these adorable photos.
Thank you more for appreciating them~
You really did! Perfect!
Awwww, so nice! <3
ohh so cute <3 beautiful..
Beautiful, sweet, peaceful animals! <3
Great!
Mil grazi!
Extraordinary little creatures
They really are, aren’t they!
The likeness to ET is as remarkable as your image, Cindy.
I think he is wise to choose to hang out with wild animals. They are so much more civilized!
I was going to ask at first what in the world that animal was until I read the end, that´s my kind of gazelle, I can sit with her and have a smoke while we both watch the sun set. It is a beautiful creature indeed.
Yes, I can see it now! Perfect! Laughing…….
ist ja toll, herzliche Grüße, Klaus
Vielen danke Klaus!
gerne
Tak!
“I’m a man of means by no means,
King of the road”

What a character and well shot too. 🙂
I think he would look spiffy in one of your hats Graham!
He needs a pipe. 🙂
He would look more distiinguished…..
Cindy, I used to get this kind of response to most of my posts, over 200 likes and tons of comments. Now I get a few comments and 150 likes. I know a few of my most active followers quit blogging. this is despite having 7,500 followers. I guess they are mostly AWOL. I hope my photography hasn’t gone to pieces.
No, your photography is wonderful, and you are a gifted photographer. I especially love your travel photography. Maybe this is a natural progression for a blog. It will probably happen to me. Some people might get uncomfortable with all the street shots of young females in skimpy outfits. But then again, others love it. So I don’t know. You could do always do post and ask people. You might get some interesting feedback.
The pictures of girls suits a different audience than WP bloggers. Still, I don’t know where everyone went. Thanks for the compliments.
🙂
ET could probably flap those ears to get home. Thanks I needed a light-hearted moment. Happy Valentine’s Day. <3
And to you my friend! Wishing you lots of love and flowers!
What a cute little guy (not to mention all the rest). Happy Valentine’s Day.
His eyes and eye lashes are what got to me! He’s a looker! 😉
🙂 Fun and a great series to open the day with 🙂 I like his attitude ~
He’s become California cool! 😉
Oh Cindy, these photographs are priceless! Awesome shots w/perfect timing.
Very happy you enjoyed them my friend!
What a cute little thing! Don’t think I’d want him in my back yard, though — not with that smoking habit, ha!!
Too many butts in your garden! 😉 😉
The animal it is a gerenuk, isn’t it?
Yes it is! Common name Waller’s Gazelle. I’m impressed you know~
