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. This is why I'm only getting around to posting these photos now. I hope you enjoy.
