Alex and I went for a Saturday morning loop hike at Palomar Mountain. We hiked at Palomar Mountain many times but rarely do so in the actual State Park because dogs aren’t allowed on the trails there.

After the heavy rains in January, a lot of foam built up on the coast. We went to South Cardiff State Beach for a walk with our dog Toni and it almost looked like it had snowed at the beach.

We went for a Sunday afternoon hike to Hollenbeck Canyon in the south-eastern part of San Diego County (near Jamul, just off of Highway 94). The area is so pretty at the moment! The grass is tall and green and gently moves in the wind. Our little dog girl Toni celebrated her 10th birthday happily …
Santa Ysabel Morning
Santa Ysabel Morning — a gentle haze and morning mist lingers over the meadows while the marine layer is blocked off just to the west by the rolling hills. A photo from my archives, made in March 2009 (we were on a daytrip to the Anza Borrego Desert).
