On the 3rd May 2025, my parents and I took a trip to Lindsay Wildlife Experience in Walnut Creek, CA, Dinosaur Hill Park in Pleasant Hill, CA, and John Muir National Historic Site, Radke Martinez Regional Shoreline, and Martinez Marina in Martinez, CA. 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!

This blog post is part 2 of my Olympus photos. The photos are from Dinosaur Hill Park in Pleasant Hill, CA, and John Muir National Historic Site, Martinez Marina, and Radke Martinez Regional Shoreline in Martinez, CA.

Message From The Photographer: Unfortunately this past month was just horrible for me with Long COVID, and I was bedridden for most of it. The photos were delayed due to that.

After Lindsay Wildlife Experience, we went for lunch, before heading to Dinosaur Hill Park in Pleasant Hill, CA. At Dinosaur Hill park, it was two minutes up a few steps and we were greeted with gorgeous panoramic views of Pleasant Hill, Concord, Walnut Creek, and Mt. Diablo.
