The Weekly Photo Challenge: Landscape
We had been hiking along this old ranch road checking on the condition of a berm on the south side of a ranch pond. About 30 cattle scanned us and decided to trot off. They weren’t sure what to make of these two humans…one carrying a camera and a large clipboard.
I was actually looking at the condition of this road when I looked up. Sometimes, when I am out hiking or driving my truck at La Honda Creek Open Space Preserve, I am overwhelmed with the vibrant colors of nature. No, I haven’t done any “post processing” to boost the greens and blues shown in this picture. This is what we typically see when working in the coastal mountains of San Mateo County, California.
You too can enjoy these vibrant spring colors by visiting the La Honda Creek Open Space Preserve …but, entrance to this preserve requires a permit. Visit the Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District’s Permits page to find out how you can enjoy La Honda Creek OSP.
Where are you hiking this spring weekend?
If you’re looking for me, I’m over the hill.
The Thursday Picture – Feeling Young
Today’s Thursday Picture was taken at Bear Creek Redwoods Open Space Preserve in the Sanra Cruz Mountains above San Jose / Silicon Valley.
These Coast Redwoods are probably well over 150 years old. What is interesting is that I am writing this entry on my new Apple iPad 2 that my family gave to me for my 56th birthday. I love it….although, I am going to have to get used to typing on a screen and not a keyboard. I can’t help but feel young when hiking through one of California’s forests! So, I guess this kid will just have to keep learning new things…. Like typing on my iPad screen!
Any suggestions on what sort of cover I should get to protect my iPad2 while I’m out hiking? I would like to experiment with taking pictures with my iPad2 and my iPhone 6 while also uploading them to my iCloud storage. I can then access them on my iPad2 and write a first draft for my hiking blog. Am I getting too ambitious?
So, what are you going to do to feel young this weekend?
