Today's picture was taken at around 8:30 pm. I wish cameras could capture what our eyes really see, because the sky was more pink than in the picture. Either way, the mountain still catches my attention

Day 9
(Taken 6/26)
My sister and I were headed to walk the Lafayette Reservoir. We missed our exit on the freeway, and ended up taking a detour in Lafayette (ok so we got a little lost). But sometimes when you get lost, it's for a reason. Making a wrong turn can sometimes mean you get to see something you wouldn't have seen otherwise. In this situation, we were surprised with this amazing view:

Day 8
(taken 6/25)
My husband and I drove to Mitchell Canyon road in Clayton after having dinner with some friends. I took the picture around 8 o clock. I love the way the clouds/fog gather at the top of the mountain which is happening a bit in this photo:
On another note, I have some really exciting things in the works for this blog, so definitely stay tuned :-)

Day 7
(Taken 6/24)
I got off of work at around 8:30, and rushed to get this picture. I knew where I wanted to take the picture, but was worried it was going to get too dark before I got there. As I drove down the freeway I realized how much less daylight i'll have in the winter to take pictures....and then it dawned on me. No need to speed to get there, because I was going to get whatever picture I get...kind of a deep thought, but it was a good reminder to not stress the little things and let life happen.

Day 6
June 23, 12
Here's Saturday's picture of the mountain...taken at around 7 pm. Fun fact: there are around 38 different species of dragonflies in Contra Costa County. And if you're wondering when the tarantulas make their trek on the mountain -- it happens in September and October...I'll have to get some up close shots for that event :)

Day 5
June 22, 12
Today I went for a hike with my sister at the Black Diamond Mine Regional Preserve in Antioch. We've hiked here before, but our usual trail doesn't give us a view of Mt. D so we tried a different route. At the top of our trail I realized I needed to get even higher to see the mountain. There was a small trail up a huge, monster hill that took me about 30 mins to get up. When I thought I reached the top I realized there was yet another hill to go up. I was starting to get a little frustrated, but I turned around, and there she was! It made me laugh that here I was hiking this huge hill to find the mountain and it was right behind me the whole entire time.
It was worth it though :)
Here were some of the other views from the top of the hill:
And we also ran into this guy!
