Walking towards the sky....

Greetings my friends! Mom and I on today's morning walkie, which for some reason has recently turned into big morning hikes! What has gotten in to mom?

The sun has been shining, hills have turned summer brown, and mornings are just cool enough for some hiking. I'm willing to go provided I get lots of water, shade breaks and sticks :)

The past few mornings, mom seems quite keen on this particular route...pretty views, very quiet, lots of sky...

And good grief...many uphills!

Thanks!! Yummy waters....I'll take some on my head too, ok?

Oh yea...it's up we go.

Looking back...Mt. Tamalpais in the distance.

To the other side...far out is the hint of San Pablo Bay.

Break time thank you! We take a few minutes at the shady spots. The air is still cool with a few breezes .

There's a bee in there......

Lots of monkey flowers. Didn't see any actual monkeys though :)

Oh yeah! My stickie on our first day out here...nice one, eh?

The trail ends at private property. At that point, we rest a bit then turn around and off we go...down down down....

And down...

Another stick break.

This was today's stickie. And...shhhh, I snuck stickie in the car when we got back... :)Ah ha! You know.....always return to my swimmin' hole!

Nice walkie but I am SO ready for some pool!

Fill it up please!

Ah! I'll be here for a while! Have a sweet day pals!
