You can go to the right and take Cobal Canyon or to the left
for Burbank Canyon. Doesn't matter which way you go, it's all one big
circle. |
 |
Reading the sign at the entrance to the park (just at the
top of Mills in Claremont) makes one wonder just how dangerous this really
is. Don't worry, it's simply a nice place to take a nature walk. |
 |
We found a lot of flowers in the unseasonably warm March
weather. But most of them were very small, so I ended up taking a lot of
close-ups with the macro mode on the Mavica. |
 |
Elena seems to be searching for something... |
 |
A pretty yellow flower, this came on a bush that was covered
with blossoms. I used to have one of these plants at the house I rented in
Claremont. I don't know it's name, but it's pretty. |
 |
Another shot showing the expansive canyon beyond. |
 |
Lots of little blossoms so long as one paid attention to the
side of the road. I guess you'd miss it if you went by on a bike or horse,
but walking allowed us to leisurely stop and look at things up close. |
 |
More little things. Take a look and see if you can find the
bug in this picture. I didn't even notice it until I came home and
downloaded the pictures from the camera. |
 |
Yawwwnnnn! |
 |
More pretty little blossoms. They look knobby, don't they? |
 |
A view across the canyon. |
 |
These little things aren't so impressive up close, but see
the next shot to take a peek at the whole plant... |
 |
...it looks like it has a thousand eyes (reminds me of the
poem). |
 |
Pretty color, huh?! |
 |
More little blossoms. These looked kind of like snapdragons,
but they weren't. |
 |
More... |
 |
...and still more. |
 |
In some areas of the trail (a fire road really) you could
see how the horses and mountain bikes compete with each other. |
 |
At a couple of places we saw these big "X's"
marked on the ground. I think they were telemetry targets for satellites,
but what do I know? |
