Rose Canyon Trail

We are outdoorsy people... we are any-kind-of-

activity-to-keep-us-busy people. So a few miles

through a canyon on a very nice breezy day was

just the ticket for us last Sunday.

We chose the Rose Canyon Trail, just a

mile from our place in La Jolla.

The trail was being rehabilitated, and was well kept for

most of our hike...

We saw many creatures along the trail, including this cute

little guy. I've named him Skippy Cottontail...

We saw beautiful HUGE oak trees & this one threw

us for a loop... or maybe a 90degree angle???

We were excited to stumble upon wild watermelon

patches all throughout the trail. Too bad none

of them were big enough to be ripe, I'd have honestly

carried one all the way home!

Those two specs in the sky were eagles! It was

probably a once in a lifetime expericance to see them

flying & playing together in the sky. The best part was

they were making "flight calls"!!! There was nothing

that felt closer to pure nature than hearing that sound.

There were a MILLION lizards running all over the

place. those eagles are probably well fed!

Don't know exactly what these furry things are called??

 They accompanied us on our journey & chased

the lizards all day long. We decided to keep them :)
