Saturday Morning Walk Photos

Buckeye Leaves, Concrete Wall (Fairfax) - Marin County  2026

Not A Through Street (Fairfax) - Marin County  2026

On Saturday mornings we take a longer walk than our normal daily ones. Some interesting photo sightems.

Manzanita / Chinquapin (Mt. Tamalpais - August, 2026)

Manzanita, Tree, Fog (Mount Tamalpais) - Marin County  2026

Western Chinquapin (Mt. Tamalpais) - Marin County  2026

Hoping that the iPhone was correctly identifying various plants on Mt. Tamalpais.

Moss / Viewpoint (Mt. Tamalpais - August 2026)

Moss Covered Tree - Marin County 2026

Viewpoint - Marin County  2026

Again, hiking just below the top of Mt. Tamalpais. Picturesque moss-covered trees, and a viewpoint looking out onto blank nothingness. Very windy . . . had to make sure my hat didn't get blown off!

Ridgecrest View (Mt Tamalpais - July 2026)

Hills, Trees, Fog - Marin County  2026

Driving home from the Mt. Tamalpais visit I took Ridgecrest Blvd to the very twisty Fairfax-Bolinas Road. 

Nice views of the marine layer blanketing the ocean.

Bay / Buckeye

Buckeye Leaves - Marin County  2026

Top photo taken with an iPhone 16 Pro Max.

Bottom one with an Olympus E-M10 / Lumix 12-60mm lens combo. Pretty old, as such digital things go, but actually still quite serviceable. Light weight, too.

Redwoods, Clouds

Redwoods, Clouds - Marin County  2026

Redwoods, Clouds - Marin County  2026

Both photos taken from the same location (front of our house looking south). Top one taken with an iPhone 16, bottom one with a Nikon Z7II.

Trees

Alders

Alders, Road - Point Reyes  2026

Alders - Point Reyes  2026

Hanna and I hiked this route in 2025, so I knew that it was quite long. Still seemed to take forever.

Eucalyptus / Pond

Eucalyptus - Point Reyes  2026

Pond - Point Reyes  2026

Walking past the eucalyptus to the beach. Alas, the pond that is usually off to the side had somehow enlarged itself and covered the trail! I had brought water sandals with me - mainly for wearing around the camp - but I never got around to putting them on and wading through the water.

Coast Camp

Coast Camp - Point Reyes  2026

A short mini-hike. I had hiked up to a ridge overlooking the main campground sites, with a view of the tents, the eucalyptus and the ocean.

Oak Trees (Fairfax Hike)

Morning Walk Photos (iPhone 16 Pro Max)

Buckeye Branches, Poison Oak - Marin County  2026

Oak, Bay Branches - Marin County  2026

Photos taken with an iPhone 16 Pro Max . . . a recent acquisition. Might not have the correct settings yet. Also, annoying issue trying to download photos into my PC.

It had a dedicated camera button! Whoa!

Trees, Clouds (Black and White)

Top photo from April, the next one from May. Both taken with a Sony RX100.

Lake, Snow, Trees (1978)

Lake, Snow, Trees - Sierra Nevada  1978

I'm thinking that those trees are Foxtail Pines.

Alders / California Buckthorn

Alder Trunks - Point Reyes  2026

California Buckthorn - Point Reyes  2026

Stopping by the Coast Camp trailhead area. I was able to use the Nikon Z7II for the alder photo . . . it's not that suitable for wet weather so hadn't brought it out for Limantour photos (Olympus has better weather-sealing).

The iPhone was able to identify the California Buckthorn - note how wet the leaves are

Bishop Pines

Bishop Pine Trunk - Point Reyes  2026

Bishop Pine Needles - Point Reyes  2026

There's a collection of Bishop Pines near the parking lot. I was using an Olympus E-M1II with a small 25mm (prime) lens equipped with an extended rubber lens hood used in wet weather.

Trees, Reeds, Reflections

Trees, Reflections - Lake Lagunitas  2026
