I've been taking some hikes the past few weeks. Here are pictures from around the area.
| A wasp gall on an oak branch. This was formed when a wasp laid eggs in the bark and the tree reacted by forming this burl. The larvae formed inside and came out those little holes. |
| Poison Hemlock. (not native) Sorry, Socrates. |
| Coast Sunflower |
| Maidenhair fern |
| I think I was trying to shoot that hawk up there (just below the lowest branch on the left). Turned out to be a cool shot. |
| I'm lucky! |

Andrew wanted me to let you know that he thought your photos look professional. What kind of cameera do you use?
Thank you, Andrew! ;-) I use a point-n-shoot. It is a Canon SureShot s95. It has options to take over the controls, but I usually just snap on "auto."
Thanks for the compliment! <3
Thanks for the info about the camera. I am going to be getting a new one soon so I will look at the Canon Sure Shots.
