What a wonderful adventure! I decided to create a photo diary with
my new Canon 10D on a visit to my sister, some friends, and several
northern California Audubon Sanctuaries in mid-November. My northern
California adventure began in the San Francisco Bay area on November
13th and ended in Stockton on November 23rd. You will find a brief
account of the journey accompanied by the photographs taken at the
site in the paragraph above the photos. Named bird and
mammal photos are found at the end of this journal. Or

In the Bay Area I visited the now infamous Berkeley marina, Berkeley
Aquatic Park, Richmond Park, Tiburon Audubon Center, and the Marin
Civic Center. My sister, Margot, being a wonderful tour guide and a
top notch photographer knows so many interesting nooks and crannies
throughout San Francisco Bay, I could have stayed forever, but alas
on the 4th day, it was time to move on.
