Skywatching while walking.
After lunch, we decided to go out for a walk. We were all one in choosing Point Pinole Regional Shoreline because not only is it huge (2135 acre), it is also so close to where we all live.
It was a February day, a holiday, but surprisingly the park was almost empty. It must have been the cool weather. Anyway, we took our walk after heavy Indian meal and I took pictures.
Entry at the bridge above the railroad track.
So alive.
Headed towards the marshland.
Easy path.
Sunita and me.
The eucalyptus trees are plentiful here. They were initially planted as a buffer against explosions. This place used to be the site for manufacturing gunpowder and dynamite.
Hubby found a walking buddy.
I really enjoy this view any time of the day, any season of the year.
I love old eucalyptus trees.
We went to the marshland today.
Can you tell it was breezy and cold?
Pebbles and shells.
Skywatching.
Mt. Tamalpais in the background.
Reaching out to the skies.
I have walked here many times for years, but I never have stopped and bird watch. I hear they have a good list of birds that either call this park home or frequent visitors.

ReplyDeleteOh i thought at first that you went to Sunita's place because i remember you went to India, then when i read thoroughly it was Sunita's friend who met you. So this is California not India, hehe, i was surprised looking at you all very cold, thought in India! I wish i can go to India too and see this time Sunita, she has a lovely garden too, and for sure also cooks very well.
ReplyDeleteLovely views and great skies in the bottom shots!
ReplyDeleteI like old eucalyptus trees, too, and I especially like beach-combing on cold, wintry days! I would have been right there with you.

ReplyDeleteWow, it is beautiful here and nice job in taking so many pictures showing it off since I don't usually make it out to that part of the bay area.
ReplyDeleteThat is a beautiful place, nice shots. I'd also enjoy walking there, and the lack of crowds on a cool day would be my preference.
ReplyDeleteWonderful shots of great variety.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great walk you took us on. Very interesting also, that it is so cool where you are. Plus I was fascinated by the trees planted as a buffer against explosions.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing.
A superb walk with wonderful skies.

ReplyDeleteRailway tracks, skies, clouds, see, grass, pebbles, and they all are worth a thousand word! Beautiful set of pictures.
ReplyDeleteso i've never seen an actual eucalyptus tree before,
ReplyDeletei think they all look the same.
ha! you can fairly judge that i'm not a nature person. ^0^
but that is a very nice tree,
very old indeed like a setting from some movie.
thank you for taking a pause and showing us a bit and off side of California. they're as always scenic.
A fine account with words and pictures of this area. I liked the trees that look so good and the interesting trail. Well done.
ReplyDeletesuch a beautiful place to take a stroll.
ReplyDeleteIndian meals are always heavy!
ReplyDeleteGreat pics from your walk.
Enjoyed taking the cyber walk down the path with you to see the trees, the sky, what you saw. I'm sorry I missed the Indian food.

Never thought those eucalyptus trees can serve as buffer against explosions. It's definitely better and much more peaceful without dynamites and gunpowder in its midst.
ReplyDeleteVery dramatic skies! I haven't been to this park yet; I'll have to put it on my list! By the way, the arts and crafts village Tlaquepaque is right in Sedona! Keep that in mind in case you go there again.
ReplyDeleteFinally back to the States. I always thought California to be sunny around this time of year, but your pictures say otherwise.
