Day in Davis, CA

Clear creek, perfect for upside down image!

It’s always fun to explore a new area.  Last month had the pleasure to do just that.  Davis is a college town that sits just outside of Sacramento.  The campus has an Arboretum that stretches alongside a creek through Redwood trees and is just lovely.

We lucked out on the weather–a rain shower passed by quickly and we had a day of clouds and sun.

Perfect weather for shooting!

Some flowers along the way…second shot is with my Lensbaby Composer!

A touch of color

Same subject different perspective

Also with Lensbaby Composer

Love the colors reflected in the water!

A Bird Sanctuary is also located in Davis–just as you are entering the area.  One would not think that a sanctuary for birds would lie next to a major freeway–but this one does.

Couple of shots to share the habitat as viewed through my Lensbaby…

Ground view

Worth getting a bit muddy!

I shared more bird images on a previous post, but here are a few I couldn’t resist sharing again.  Simply because I do not see these birds often on my river trips, so it was especially nice to catch them in flight and enjoying the beautiful sanctuary.

Wings in the light

Hunkered down from the wind

In flight

I look forward to exploring Davis again!
