Typically, when we go to Garland Park, we run to the top. It's grueling for about 30 minutes on the way up (it's pretty steep) and terrifying for about 15 minutes on the way back down (again, it's pretty steep). But this day we didn't make it to the top...we just hiked around somewhere in the middle. Garland is obviously one of Massey's favorite places (and yes she willingly models for us). I think looking at all this pics in order is kind of cool (even the accidental one of the blue sky before we got in the car). Perhaps this weekend or next we'll opt for the run.
Massey Monday: You'll Poke Your Eye Out!
But somehow she runs through all that brushy, brambly junk at full speed unscathed. No eyes poked out yet.
Massey Monday: Something There!
That stance and those ears...she's telling us there is something there. Probably a little tiny lizard or a field mouse or maybe a gopher got lucky and find a tunnel in which to hide. There is definitely something there.

Another Thirsty Thursday means its time to pour something yummy and make those weekend plans. One of our favorite local spots to hit up for a trail run or a leisurely hike on the weekends is Garland Ranch Regional Park. Its a lovely off-leash location, so Massey can run around (and get covered in poison oak) while we either run up the crazy Skyline climb, or wander around with our cameras.
We went to Garland a few weeks ago on a beautiful, coastal California winter day. Our winter days are pretty fabulous. Here are a few of the little bits of nature I found during our stroll.
Get out there and find your own bits of nature this weekend!
Two Word Tuesday: One Down
Massey Monday: In the Weeds
Sometimes the grass is so tall she gets lost.
Other times she apparently has an invisible pogo stick to see over everything.

Thursday snuck up on me this week, but after a little archive digging, here's a few shots from some of our hikes at Garland Ranch near Carmel Valley Village. I really like the one of Massey and Beth walk down the trail under the moss (I've always found moss hard to shoot). It may not be Garland this weekend, but I'm sure we'll be hiking (or running...cue Massey ears) somewhere!
