Soo and Maggie blog about our adventures in San Diego and other parts of the world.
Ostrichland USA
Young Emu
610 East Highway 246. Solvang, California 93463
This place is near and dear to my heart. Each time we come to visit Solvang the Ostrich’s and Emu’s are on our list of places to visit.

This trip the young Emu’s caught my attention. They were in a separate area and not yet old enough to make the same deep vocalizations their older counterparts make. These two made sweet high pitched sounds.
Even though we came during the terrible heat wave (high 90’s for the rest of the week) it was still fun to hold out the feed bowls and walk around talking to the birds. I really do think they listen. And a few of them posed for my pictures.
The gift shop (with air conditioning, yay) had a few new t-shirt patterns I really liked. Plus the super sweet kitty cat perched on the counter provided necessary customer support.
Now someone needs to tell the Sun to stop giving us triple digit heat. Sheesh.

I use a combination of my iPhone and my Fujifilm X-E2 camera for all my photographs. Just depends on where I am as to which one I'll use to take my pictures with. I love to write original stories combined with my photographs.

A couple since 2003 and now on the precipice of this new journey, our fondest hope is this website serves a purpose. One of useful information presented in an elegant, beautiful photographic setting.
Together we love to discover new restaurants, food trucks, diners, café’s, huts or where ever we find food being served. The love of artful, carefully crafted, passionately orchestrated food, beverages and let’s not forget desert, Is something we both enjoy immensely. Immersing ourselves in the history, culture and surrounding locations of our adventures hopefully leads to not only meeting new people, but making new friends, sharing ideas, listening to stories and learning something new everyday.
