After a few weeks of hiking on the peninsula, I finally went back to Marin County. This week was a short trek through Fort Baker. The military fort dates back to the 1870s when coastal defense facilities were a necessity along the Pacific coast. Today, it's part of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area. Just above the fort is a hiking trail where you will find stunning views of San Francisco Bay.
When walking the trails, it's easy to forget to look up. We're so busy look out and around that your forget the view the beauty above. In the picture below (top left), the branches had almost a damask quality. Nature itself can create a work of art.
As I continued along the trail, I stopped to snap a few shots of flora. We've only recently begun the spring season so it may take some time before the flowers are in full bloom. I even took a snapshot of a ladybug; rarely seen in an urban environment.

The next upcoming weekends will be away from the Bay Area (work purposes), so it won't be until May before I return to Marin County. Next North Bay hike: Angel Island.
