Lake Walk

One of the really neat things about living here is Contra Loma Regional Park just over the hill from our neighborhood. We can walk up Silverado less than 1/2 mile, turn up the hill on Grimsby to the public access, go through the gate, dodge a few cow pies, crest the hill and walk down into the park, as per the view at the right. Today makes 2 Fridays in a row that we headed out on the almost 4 mile jaunt. Virginia says walking over the hill is like going on vacation without having to travel. I think I agree.



















Here's a shot up one of the hills from the lake level.





















The lake itself can be really beautiful with the late afternoon sun glimmering on the surface.

The sun sank slowly behind the western hills and the air began to cool. We made it home just at twilight with a bright moon rising in the east. Beautiful evening!
