Pt. Reyes National Seashore: Part 1

| 1 Comment

North of the San Francisco Bay Area is the American Eden, a place lush and green and full of wildflowers and distant vistas. Sir Francis Drake found it many years ago, and before him native tribes wove its tule grasses into a myriad of useful things.

Nowadays Pt. Reyes National Seashore is a retreat from urban life within an easy day trip of most of the Bay Area. Though the trailheads may seem crowded, like most national parks, a little effort puts you far from the crowd. Elk wander some areas of the park, while cows reign supreme in others. My first sight last Saturday was of a local resident near the visitor's center, posing with the wildflowers.

More later this week.

Do deer instinctively know how photogenic they are?
