I thought I’d share with you some recent images from the trail.  The clouds were gorgeous, and the deer were too, and I loved the Oaks that lined the trail a little bit more than usual on this morning hike.

I was on the way down here. The view is looking at the southern end of the San Francisco Bay Area. The white teeth like structure left of center near the water is Shoreline Amphitheater, and moving to the right are the hanger of Moffet Field looking small from up here.  The mountains in the distance is the Diablo Range.

Autumn was on display.  Even dying I thought the blossoms were pretty.

I think this is a Coyote Bush. It goes all Fuzzy this time of year.

The Toyon are full of red berries this time of year…

and the wildlife… I saw a young Buck, a Doe, and some wild turkeys along with the usual suspects; squirrels, and birds.  This pretty doe was in the front yard of home when I was headed up hill along the road to the trail-head.

I made two short videos. One of the Buck, and the other of the wild Turkey’s.

Here’s the video to the Buck.  I dislike my voice in this video, but can’t figure out how to mute it so no one has the option to hear it. 🙂 I couldn’t upload the video directly from my computer, so had to put it up on YouTube.com for you to see.

I hope you all have a lovely week-end and your views where ever they are are wonderful.

  3. Neat to see what autumn looks like in your area. It does have its own particular beauty (love those flowers!). Your voice sounds sweet :-). I find hearing recordings of my voice weird too. It just doesn’t sound like that when I hear myself speak directly! I also had a chance encounter with a deer in a nearby park this fall. And I made a video too! And I’m also sweet talking the deer. And listening to my voice also made me a bit uncomfortable. So I had a little inside giggle when I saw your video. Hugs :-).

  7. Deborah, I enjoyed seeing the drying (dying) flowers and think they were a great capture! Thanks for sharing the buck or deer. The deer are kind of tame around Ohio. I once got a family of deer when I used a digital camera and wasn’t blogging using photos. Your post was full of cool things and happy to hear how you sound on tape. xo 💐

  10. Thanks for sharing these beautiful scenes, Deborah. The trail looks welcoming and it looks like you had a great day. Love the photo of the doe and the video. I’m late getting around to posts, as I was out of town and very busy. It’s good to catch up when I find gems like this.

    1. Thank you so much Dan! I’m glad you liked the doe, and buck!

      I’m late responding b/c I was out of town at the new house doing basic cleaning so it’s tidy for showing. Got food poisoning in the wee hours of morning Sunday which was a travel day. It was the worst!
      Then got home; went straight to bed, and woke up this morning and started cleaning here.

      I need a break from cleaning, and wine with dinner! 🙂

      I’m happy to hear you got there and back again safely!
