Continuing the Pena Adobe Spring 2014 photos, we begin part 2 still in the rain.

Walking around the lagoon, one can often hear the sound of geese. They seem to have a permanent residence on the east shore of the lagoon. This pair took to the skies.  Below, a profile close up of a goose against the surface of the lagoon which provided a hi key background for the photo.

A typical spring day in Pena Adobe. Lush green hills, a few clouds, sun shining on the lagoon.

I was accompanied by my friends' daughters (eager hikers both) and their friend.  While I struggled downhill with camera in one hand and a leash in the other and tried not to fall face first walking with a very excited dog. Booka casts an impressive shadow, I am reminded of wargs from Lord of the Rings. Too bad he's not wearing his spiked collar.

The path down the hill leads to Jack Hume Grove, a picnic area shaded by tall trees. The grove is a well tended garden of colorful plants and stone lined trails.
