Sometimes I like to go to places I have never walked before here in my little neck of the woods.
I live in Oceanside, California not far from the beach. I find a lot of trails just by looking at Google Maps. Sometimes I find a really great place, and sometimes looks on Google maps can be deceiving.
This is kind of funny, we looked up this canyon and saw beautiful waterfalls, oasis type stream, someone had even taken close ups of the falls.
So off we set to what looked like the most traveled trail.
This is the trail.
Number 128. Off in the horizon you can see a Lagoon and Ocean.
The waterfalls were to the right and down the hill.
Number 129.
Except it wasn’t just a hill, but a 100 foot bluff… and the only way to the falls is starting down by those houses and walking up the canyon. We decided to just stay here and let the dogs run and chase those pesky wabbits.
You can see the lagoon better here.

We did find a seep, pictured below.
Do you know what the difference between a spring and seep?
The term seep refers to springs with small flow rates in which the source water has filtered through permeable earth.
Fracture springs, discharge from faults, joints, or fissures in the earth. The springs follow a natural course of voids or weakness in the bedrock.

The palms are loving the water.
#132
And flowers.. These are African Daisies.
#133
The purple and white kind..
#134
Number 135, a bit closer..
The seep ran dry fairly quick. From the little pool shown above to the end was about 30 feet.
Here is about 20 feet down and number 136.
Luna, (the pup) enjoyed the walk. I never saw Meika (wolfdog) until I called her to go back to the car. lol
Number 137
More puppy pictures!

The way back up the trail, as we leave the water behind.

Some other day we will find the falls.. Damselfly #140

Great photos for the 365 photo challenge…..enjoyed them all!
Smiles, thank you Courtney!!!
Notice the title in mine? like yours, oops.
Yes I saw that 🙂 That’s why we need an edit button! Especially once we are verified since we can’t revert it back to a draft to fix it before it’s published!
True. I noticed seconds after I hit publish. lol
Exactly what happened to me lol….it’s frustrating!
Despite all the beautiful scenery, but still, I needed the foot massage after walking that far.
Awe, I am sorry, was it too far? We will take more breaks along the way next time! Maybe pack a lunch?
Pack of lunch is good to bring! Balm too! For sure I must not forget to wear wings!
I want some of those wings you speak of. Can I get them on Amazon? Grins.
We can make the wings yourself from used styrofoam, why should buy?
More puppy pics please. I won’t even make a smart aleck comment, 🙂
Well then I can’t post anymore. I love your smart aleck remarks, it just wouldnt be the same without them. Grins.
Ok, fair enough 1 dad joke posted on every puppy pic!
Oh good to hear! I was going to do her first pup pics, and the last ones together, She is growing so fast.
They do. We took ours to the vet on Saturday for the annual. The tech was a new person, he asked how old my dog was. I said he was around 7.5 years and his jaw dropped (he can’t be that old!) I can’t believe my pal is almost 8.
Just shows you’re taking great care of him. : ) I used to love hearing that from people that met Maggie Mae along the way.
Loved the journey through the woods, the blue skies and puppy pics. 🙂
Thank you Carol, there were a few things to take pictures of, but not much.
Beautiful photos!!
It’s like walking with you in nature!!
Thank you for the great share!!
I appreciate you coming along for the walk! Thanks a bunch Alibb!
