Brushy Peak Regional Preserve - Livermore, CA (Cellphone Photos)

Yesterday, on the 24th March 2025, my mom and I went for a hike at Brushy Peak Regional Preserve in Livermore, CA. A lot of flowers are blooming at the park! I took some photos with my cellphone. I hope you enjoy viewing my photos!

Message from the Photographer: After being mostly bedridden for a week, I had quite some energy yesterday despite the really severe brain fog. I decided to go for a hike and check out the flowers, since it is now spring. I'm somewhat paying for it today, but a full on energy crash hasn't set in yet. I guess the LDN I got from the Stanford Clinic is helping quite a bit.

Nike Missile Site SF-88L (Part 2) - Golden Gate NRA - Marin County, CA

On the 7th December 2024, my parents and I took a trip to Nike Missile Site SF-88L at Marin Headlands in Golden Gate National Recreation Area in Marin County CA, and Sausalito, CA. It was very smoggy in the SF Bay Area, so there weren't many photo opportunities. I took photos on my phone and on my Olympus mirrorless camera, and the photos are split into 3 posts. I hope you enjoy viewing my photos!
