Birds of a feather, spaced evenly at the horizon on way 'home'.
A palm sky at sunset.
"We've got the sun in the morning and the moon at night", apparently in the morning, too—6.05am.
We're back in California, enjoying summer weather as winter approaches. Apparently, autumn or fall won't
be making its annual appearance. Go Figure! The good news is that the editor is back to fine form after
explaining that until recently, she did not want to see or be seen on mountains. We understood her
situation very well. We are not without feelings. We offered to purchase a disguise for her so she
could remain incognito. Suffice to say, we apparently missed the real meaning behind her confusing words.
Instead, we settled on a couple of beach hikes with a little excursion onto the cliffs. The latter hike
on a treacherous cliff provided nearly as much excitement as a month in Peru. Who needed to leave San Diego?
A mist attempts to shield La Jolla, taken from cliffs of Del Mar.
The 'Potato Chip', an old favorite at Woodson...heavy dew created slippery conditions some 2,300 feet
above the ground. Have to admit, confidence eased somewhat after failing to gain reasonable traction.
Jenni captures hiker doing some soul searching.
We returned to Mount Woodson in Poway, which is, in our opinion, a good workout in a very attractive
environment. The eight-mile roundtrip with a 2,300 feet elevation gain is ideal. We are not alone with
this view because once again, on our way down, the trail was crowded. The secret is to hike early, as
we did, arriving at the peak in second position. We regret to say that a youngster overtook us close
to the top. If there's one thing we despise, is a 'showoff'. In order to harbor no ill feelings,
we jogged down to lake level, not allowing him to pass us. We hope he learns a lesson.
Reflections during late afternoon.
More reflections: Conversing on the shore with 'identical' mates from down under.
'Jenni don't be a litterbug' but can't reach the trash bin with dry feet.
We are often asked what is the most beautiful sight we've seen or the best hike undertaken? After one of us
has been made to eat his words often enough, we try not to provide answers to such questions.
We would offer that there are some beautiful places in San Diego County, particularly when the sun and
clouds cooperate. Expressed differently, it's not always the place; it often depends on the time.
Fishing looks to be a most 'stressful' pastime, at Lake Poway below MT. Woodson. The peak is well beyond
and above the mountain shown in picture.
A yellow sky?
We trust the selection of photographs provides support for our contention that there are very attractive
scenes in this region.
Cheers,
Jenni and Jeffrey
