Last weekend we visited Conservatory of Flowers at Golden Gate Park, San Francisco. This time we had more luck with butterfly and flowers selection.

Nothing new this time, just a few pics from one of our favorite ocean side places.
I call it Moss Beach but it’s not, I just don’t remember the right name, sorry.

I hope you not bored with those yet.

Today we went to see Powwow at Stanford.
The Powwow, an annual celebration of Native American culture and heritage, was sponsored by the Stanford American Indian Organization and ran from Friday until Sunday, in what is traditionally the largest student-run powwow in the nation.
Unfortunately at a time we were there photography of the dancers were not allowed, so I was taking pictures only of those how was walking around.

Last Saturday three of us visited Lighthouse State Beach, in Santa Cruz.
We didn’t made it to the beach this time, but we sure will be back for more.

Last weekend we visited San Antonio Ranch. This time we saw wild turkeys and I was lucky to get close enough to capture fight of two males. The ranch has lots of trails and it’s one of the popular hiking places.

Last weekend was two days longer for us. We went to Solvang (Danish town in California).
On our way there we stopped for launch at Madonna Inn, very worth visiting place! The rest of the day we were browsing the Solvang city until dark. Next morning we went to Nojoqui Falls, then we went to Ynez city for lunch and we also checked their Carriage Museum. Next morning on our way back home we stopped at Ostridge Farm…
I posted 135 pictures from all those places here:

I went to see Mossbrae Falls, but when I got there I couldn’t figure out how to find it. My GPS was directing me to a closed road and all trails were under the snow. I was able to find big sign “Welcome to Hedge Creek Falls” and someone else’s footsteps on the snow, so I fallowed them and found another waterfall ‘Hedge Creek Falls’. The snow was quite deep but the hike, for my luck, was short.

It was very windy and could on the beach. I walked there for 15 minus and run back to a car…
Here are some pictures.

My wife and I had a chance to walk in San Francisco on ‘Black Friday’, just two of us… We were just walking and taking pictures with no direction and goals in mind, it was really nice.
