A new hiking location. It has a gradual up hill, although there are steep parts, beautiful views and rocks to sit on when you get to the top. You’ll see coyotes and cows. #hiking #views #rocks #hills #steep #photography #landscape #photos #sanfranciscobayarea #california #nature #coyotes

Before you get to your destination, Bryce Canyon, you pass through Red Canyon. Not the length of other canyons but just as beautiful. #redcanyon #canyon #destination #nature #sandstone #photography #photo #photographersofbluesky #landscape #utah #mountains #trees #beautiful

Boardwalk out to the Don Edward’s. San Francisco Bay NWR. Then you can have a lovely long walk along the shore. Sit in the little red shack for a picnic. #sanfrancisco #bay #shore #water #boardwalk #walk #photography #photographersofbluesky #marina #shack #view #picnic #waterfowl #landscape

Almost to the end of the 20 mile drive thru Bryce Canyon. You don’t drive through the canyons, which are actually amphitheaters, you drive above them and look down into them. #brycecanyon #nationalpark #drive #nature #amphitheaters #utah #photography #landscape #photo #photographersofbluesky

It’s always exciting to take a walk in a neighborhood you have never walked in. This was a lovely area with beautiful front yards. How nice to have a pond in your garden. #neighborhood #walk #morning #pond #rain #frontyard #garden #photography #landscape #greenery #lovely #photographersofbluesky
