We took a short walk last week to an area really close that I didn’t know existed. Those are the best types. I love Google Maps!

#1 Are you ready?

Here we go....

Indeed, this is beautiful. Simple and dreamy, it makes me think about fairy tales.

  I can totally imagine this one for a book cover for a fairy tail. Never thought about it until you mentioned it, thank you!!!

#3 Live Coastal Oak Trees

We found this trail that was behind some houses that followed a stream.

Carol DM says:

February 6, 2019 at 5:32 pm

Incredible trees, wow! This is great.

  February 8, 2019 at 12:25 pm
  
  It is amazing how they just grow around the rocks.
hamza says:

February 6, 2019 at 8:47 pm

Amazing trees, Great!!!

  February 8, 2019 at 12:26 pm
  
  They are around 200 years old, when they get this size.
Albert Herdianto Widjojo says:

February 12, 2019 at 2:30 pm

The tree is amazing but it’s even more awesome because of your photos.

  Thank you Albert, these are one of my favorite kinds of trees.

#4 Crevices

and small caves are shown here. The dogs had to check every one of them out. You never know where those pesky saber toothed rabbits are hiding.

It was safe!! No bunnies.

Carol DM says:

February 6, 2019 at 5:32 pm

Great places for the dogs to check out.

1
- Kim_Johnson says:
  
  February 8, 2019 at 12:26 pm
  
  Yes, even though the elusive saber toothed rabbit wasnt around.
Albert Herdianto Widjojo says:

February 12, 2019 at 2:30 pm

Tsk… Tsk… Tsk… What a wonderful place to see…

- Kim_Johnson says:
  
  February 13, 2019 at 2:06 pm
  
  And I can’t believe I didnt know this trail was here. It is only a mile or so away from me.

#5 Can you see

the dogs? Check out that egg like boulder...? Odd huh?

Albert Herdianto Widjojo says:

February 12, 2019 at 2:32 pm

I am even willing to play with the dogs on the rocks

1
- Kim_Johnson says:
  
  February 13, 2019 at 2:07 pm
  
  I love climbing these boulders, and have just as much fun as they do. I am almost sure of it.

#6 A closer look

at that boulder, as the dogs are still busy checking out the area..

Carol DM says:

February 6, 2019 at 5:33 pm

They are having a great time I see.

- Kim_Johnson says:
  
  February 8, 2019 at 12:28 pm
  
  Theyve been like a couple of monkeys bouncing off of the walls, asking me to turn off the rain..
Albert Herdianto Widjojo says:

February 12, 2019 at 2:34 pm

What an amazing natural masterpiece!

#7 Mushrooms

I have never seen any red or orange ones in person growing, just in pictures.

Carol DM says:

February 6, 2019 at 5:33 pm

Wow these are amazing colors.

1
- Kim_Johnson says:
  
  February 8, 2019 at 12:28 pm
  
  Ive only seen those gold ones and brown or white here.
Albert Herdianto Widjojo says:

February 12, 2019 at 2:35 pm

I’ve also never seen anything like that.

- Kim_Johnson says:
  
  February 13, 2019 at 2:08 pm
  
  I was amazed at this find for sure.

#8 This one

was a peachy color. So pretty!

Carol DM says:

February 6, 2019 at 5:33 pm

Very peachy indeed, love it.

1
- Kim_Johnson says:
  
  February 8, 2019 at 12:30 pm
  
  I tried to look them up to no avail…

#9 Red

with white crystals on it that looked like sugar. This one just looks poisonous!!

Carol DM says:

February 6, 2019 at 5:33 pm

What a treasure you found.

1
- Kim_Johnson says:
  
  February 8, 2019 at 12:30 pm
  
  I thought so too, this post was almost all just mushrooms. 🙂

#10 The tiny creek

with it's clear cold water. Check out the next page for a few more pictures.

Carol DM says:

February 6, 2019 at 5:34 pm

There is always a creek, good for the dogs.

1
- Kim_Johnson says:
  
  February 8, 2019 at 12:31 pm
  
  We try, and they are a little spoiled. I always try to make sure there is water, so I don’t have to carry it. 😉
Albert Herdianto Widjojo says:

February 12, 2019 at 2:37 pm

Thirsty! Can I drink there?

1
- Kim_Johnson says:
  
  February 13, 2019 at 2:10 pm
  
  Yes, but it still needs to be filtered. We have a few bad bugs around here in the waterways. Giardia is one.

I love the mushrooms! The one rock in the last couple of pictures looks as if it is balanced perfectly.

      I should’ve gotten closer to it. I had a stomach ache that day, and wasn’t very adventurous.

Somehow the mushrooms looks delicious …
