The following shots were taken along one of my favorite trails not far from our house. It's hard to believe this exists so close to civilization. It was once part of a large dairy. Much of the lower pasture areas have been allowed to flood and eventually drain into a river and subsequently into S.F. Bay.

Viewing these shots is almost as good as being there! It's a great thing to have a get away like this so close.

What lovely images, Vicki! I'm especially drawn to the first one with the beautiful grasses. It's a blessing to have a bit of undeveloped space to explore close to home.

Very nice set Vicki...well done. Areas so close to civilization that remain natural with an abundance of wildlife are eye candy to me. I love to see them, and even have a few near me in Fresno. In fact in a few minutes I'm head to one near my house to try and see what I can come up with this afternoon.
I don't know for sure why, but my favorite of your images is the first shot with the barbed wire fence.
