Lizard
Reptiles can be found living around the parks and trails of the East Bay. Lizards are some of the most fun to photograph since they often stand still and cannot harm you if they get angry unlike the snakes I occasionally run across.
Eucalyptus Trees
There are many species of trees spread out through the parks and trails of the East Bay. One of the more interesting species that grows in Lime Ridge Open Space is the Eucalyptus tree. Their bark peels off in strips leaving interesting patterns of dark and light.
Dragonfly
There are many types of insects to be found around East Bay trails. Dragonflys are some of my favorite to photograph when they cooperate.
Lime Ridge Open Space – Concord CA
There are many entrances to Lime Ridge Open Space in Concord. This is the first entrance to the park that I used over twenty years ago. It is also the entrance I used for my hike today.
