There are weekends when we just do not have any specific plans to do..just heading this way and that way, trying to enjoy summer..when temps are bearably warm and being outdoors seems to be the way to go. So last week, heading to the Bay Area, and as we drove around..just some pics to share:
The bare mountains as you pass by Altamont Pass, brown and dry..at least no traffic, cars speeding by:
going along a little more..the brown landscape now has this black, charcoal burns..it is just so dry, and a grass fire may have erupted here a few weeks back..summer being wild fire season..up on the hill are the wind turbines that line up Altamont Pass, this is wind farm area.
Well, this photo was taken last Thursday, just have to squeeze it in..been early for my doctor's appointment, and it is just so nice to see greenery and flowers:
Okay, back to the weekend photos..I was not really dressed up for hiking but my hubby decided to drive by Sunol Regional Wilderness Park. Much as I want to give it a try, just not ready for it, am wearing slips ons, and we do not have any water with us. Just not the time to do it..but it would be something to consider maybe next Spring. But I took some photos around as well in our very brief visit:
Very dry vegetation, which is as expected this time of the year, but if you look closely..I would think these trees are like squirrel/chipmunk condos, with those deep holes on the tree trunks:
And before we leave, just have to locate the short foot bridge..found it.at least now we know where to find it next time:
