Redwood Regional Park (8/12/2016) - Oakland, CA

Last month, I took 2 trips to Redwood Regional Park in Oakland, CA. The first trip I took was on August 12th, 2016, and the second trip I took was on August 14th, 2016. If you didn't see in my previous posts, I got pretty sick and busy, so I didn't get around to working on the photos until now. I am here to share with you the photos I took on my trips. I will be splitting the photos by date. This blog post will feature photos from the 12th. You can view the photos I shot on the 14th here. I also shot vlog on this trip (view here).

Bolinas, CA

Last month, I took a trip to Mt. Tamalpais State Park in Marin County, CA and Bolinas, CA (on the way back home). The photos will be split into 2 parts. I also shot vlog (view here) and aerial photos (view here) on the trip.

I took the trip on August 10th, 2016. I took quite a lot of trips/photo shoots in the month of August, so I didn't have much time to work on my photos. Then in September, I experienced several viral infections (my immune system is horrible) which delayed my photo processing even further. This is why I'm only getting around to posting these photos now. I hope you enjoy.

Today, I will be sharing the rest of my photos from this trip from Bolinas, CA. If you want to see my Mt. Tamalpais State Park photos, you can do so in the previous blog post. The photos for today are shot on the side of State Route 1 near Wilkins Gulch.

Mt. Tamalpais State Park - Marin County, CA

Last month, I took a trip to Mt. Tamalpais State Park in Marin County, CA. Mt. Tamalpais is one of the highest mountains in the San Francisco Bay Area and features lots of great views. Most of the time, you can get above the cloud cover just by driving up towards the peak (you will see a lot in my photos)! On the trip I took scenery photos from Mt. Tamalpais and Bolinas, CA (on the way home). The photos will be split into 2 parts. I also shot vlog (view here) and aerial photos (view here) on the trip.

Lafayette Reservoir & Las Trampas Regional Wilderness - SF Bay Area, CA

Last month I took a trip to Lafayette Reservoir in Lafayette, CA with a friend and dropped by Las Trampas Regional Wilderness in Contra Costa County, CA on the way back. I took quite some scenery and wildlife photos at these 2 locations. Today, I will be sharing the photos I took over there with you.

I took the trip on August 8th, 2016. I took quite a lot of trips/photo shoots in the month of August, so I didn't have much time to work on my photos. Then in September, I experienced several viral infections (my immune system is horrible) which delayed my photo processing even further.
