Birds from Arroyo Del Valle Trail (Pleasanton, CA)

Today I have several bird photos I have taken on Arroyo Del Valle Trail in Pleasanton, CA. These photos were not from one trip but from several trips. Since I live pretty close to the trail, I take walks on the trail pretty often to exercise, and also to get some wildlife shots. I hope you enjoy viewing these.

200 Blog Posts Celebration!

It has been about 2 years since I started this blog and started sharing my photos with the world. I am happy to say that I have now posted a total of 200 blog posts so far (201 once this one is posted). I would like to take this time to thank all of my fans out there that made it happen and helped me keep doing what I do. There was a period back then when I was about to give up on photography, but one special fan of mine, found me on Facebook, and told me to keep posting because my photos are amazing. You know who you are. ;) If it wasn't for you, I would have probably abandoned this blog then along with my hobby as a photographer. I would also like to thank the people who purchased things on Amazon through the Amazon Associates links I have all over this blog. The money I make from those ads do help me quite a lot in covering the costs of maintenance and for my photography equipment. It is your guy's work that help me buy storage space to store all these photos in. I guess that is all I have to say really, I am not very good at these things sadly. LOL So I hope all of you will continue checking out my blog and enjoy viewing the amazing photos I take!

If you are new here and enjoy my photos, please do take note that I have fan pages on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook. You can "Like" or Follow on any of those and you will get notifications as I post up new photos. You don't have to if you don't want to, but I'd appreciate it if you do. :) If you scroll up and look on the right side bar at the top, you can also find the links there. 

我这个博客已经有两年了。两年前我在这上面个全世界的人看我的照片。我高兴的跟我的粉丝说我已经写了两百文章了!我很感谢有这么多人来看我的照片。我的中文没有那么好,所以我没办法翻译所有的英文。

I'm not about to let the blog post stop here. Here is some of the best photos I have taken so far all these years. :) Well, I already picked out my best photos before posting them on this blog, but I guess you can call these the best of the best photos. If you want to "slideshow" through the photos in the post, just click on the first photo and the slideshow feature should be brought up.

下面是我拍的一些最好的找片!
