Wow, that's an unbelievably gorgeous blue sky there! It's totally freezing here in the UK and those pics are making me v. jealous

I wish I could live in one of those houses too.
Great pics Amber

Thanks, Track. That house is my favorite, did you see the weird little deck thing on the roof? Anyways...
That was one of the two sunny days we've had in the past month, so don't be too jealous.

It's back to rain, today.

BTFLCHLD - that was taken about 5 blocks from my house. I got out of Walgreens, looked over, and there was this massive wall of fog rising up from the bay, the biggest I'd ever seen.

So I had to take a pic.

Sounds great - always trying to get people to hike with me.

Ditto exactly whtat Jason said.

I visited San Francisco many years ago and totally fell in love. It's nice to know that you appreciate your own scenery. I'm sure many people take it for granted, though I can't see how.

I do, too - In San Francisco. Not where I live, I think it's gorgeous here. I am realizing that comparitively San Francisco is a beautiful city. Of course I love all the water views of it, and Golden Gate park. I just don't like the concrete bits as much, or the weather.
But also, everywhere I've lived has had really great (IMO) scenery. Perhaps not as dramatic as here, with the ocean and everything....

Great shots of a really scenic area. What amazing views you have there. I'm rather envious!

Well done Amber.

Come on over and go for a hike!

Yes, I'm poor in money, but rich in scenery....

Right now I'm poor on both counts!!

Although I think I'm about to start making some money.

But I'll definitely add the "Amber hiking excursion" to my California trip itinery when I eventually get around to it! (along with such great sights as the ChiliD guide to Long Beach bars and Turner Guitars in Santa Cruz)

Nice pics there, Amber. Thanks for sharing.

Now I'm homesick...how I miss my hiking on Mt. Tam. Ooh yeah.

yeah, Mount Tam kicks. I wish I could go over there.

Doesn't LA have some nice hiking hills?

That is a great hike, and it is wonderful that you are really making use of your location. I love those views! I have only explored the hills in the East Bay a little, and more around lake Anza. The first time I ventured into the redwoods in Oakland, I was amazed at how remote it felt. Most of the years I lived in the City, I spent a lot of time venturing out to Marin, or hiking in the Presidio, and then towards the end of my 17 years there I found that it took too long just to get out of the City - too many people!

Now that we live in the middle of more nature than City, I find I miss concrete a little.

You are invited to hike here in the Santa Cruz mountains with us any time you like.
