Turkeys in Pleasanton, CA (Cellphone Photos)

Yesterday, on 10 March 2023, I took a walk near the Downtown Pleasanton area in Pleasanton, CA. I saw several turkeys near the Pleasanton Library. These turkeys were really aggressive. They approached me! I took a few photos once they approached me, and they didn't seem to like it at all. They chased me off before running across the lawn to chase off a kid. Here are the photos I shot on my cellphone of the turkeys.

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.

Turkeys in Pleasanton, CA

Continuing from my last post, after walking home from Downtown Pleasanton, I spotted a group of turkeys near where I live. I started shooting photos of them. If you follow me here on my blog, you'd know there are a lot of walnut trees around where I live. I always see squirrels eating them, and I have also posted photos of squirrels eating them. Anyways, this was the first time I saw turkeys eating them! Not sure how they peck the walnuts open though! I tried to open the walnuts with my hand before, and I just can't. The shell is way too hard. Anyways, I took one home with me that day and opened one with a hammer. It tasted very good. :P Let's get started with the photos.

Mount Diablo State Park (Part 2)

I know this is way overdue, but back in September of last year, I went to Mount Diablo State Park. Here are some of the photos I took there. I will be splitting them into 2 parts. Sorry for being so late on posting this, I've been busy, and I have way too many photos in my collection I plan on posting I kind of forgot about this. I hope you enjoy viewing these photos. Mount Diablo State Park is located in Contra Costa County, CA.

Windmills off in the distance. White cast over image due to atmospheric distortion. Tried my best to get the contrast back in the photo. This is a view from the peak of Mount Diablo. 

 Another peak kind of close by. I think those are weather predicting instruments. The background is part of the East Bay in the SF Bay Area. The white cast is due to atmospheric distortion.

Right after I exited the park, I saw a few deers. They immediately ran off as I tried to take a photo. 

Here is another deer.

Also saw a flock of wild turkeys.

Now I begin with the panoramas I did in the park.

This is a panorama half way up on Mount Diablo.
