This beauty was right next to the road.

Unfortunately, the window was not all the way down and we had to hurry, for there was a car coming up behind us.

The bark of this tree was just awesome - it sorta looked like long wavy hair - like when you undo your braid.

Mt. Diablo peeking over the fog.

View of Sausalito.

The overlook.
