So, sightems not seen on our regular walks!

Not sure what "Enough" refers to. Could be political I guess.

Black Locust Trees

Blossoms, Black Locust (Fairfax) - Marin County  2026

"Black locust is native to parts of the US including the Southern Appalachian and Ozark Mountains. It has been planted in all of the Lower 48 states but has been noted as invasive in as wide ranging ecosystems as pine barren, sand prairie, and black oak savannah communities, in as varied climates as the Mid-Atlantic, Midwest, West Coast, and Texas. Black locust grows best in full sun and well drained soils. Where invasive, black locust forms dense clonal forests which shade out competitors and alter nitrogen, calcium, and phosphorus cycling."

There are some Black Locust trees up the street next to the creek. Ever since I got the tree ID I've been wondering how they got there.

Morning Walk Sightems

Rock - Marin County  2026

Bay Trunks - Marin County  2026

Not a particularly large rock, but still large enough to be quite heavy. Mike wonders how it came to be there, right beside the trail, no other rocks in the vicinity.

Monday Spotted Towhee Blogging

Spotted Towhee (Fairfax) - Marin County  2026

Making its very distinctive call. There's been a lot of them around recently, but usually they're hidden in the background foliage. This one was right out there! Photo taken with a Sony RX100.

Stable Sign - Point Reyes  2026

We took Hanna and her friend Amelie out to the stables at Five Brooks in Point Reyes for a one-hour horseback ride.

They enjoyed it! But they were quite sore the following day.

Horse, Waiting - Point Reyes  2026

Surf

Surf - Point Reyes  2026

 After you cross the bridge at the end of the trail you can trek through the dunes till you arrive at the ocean's edge. As usual, there was lots of waves smashing up against the beach.

Ripples

Ripples, Lagoon - Point Reyes  2026

It was a sunny, relatively cloudless day. Under those conditions I often resort to visualizing scenes in black and white, but these photos look OK in color.
