A week ago I mentioned that I was surprised to discover some forgotten photos from my trip to the Sonoma Coast back in September. I was sure I had posted all my pictures already; but the great thing about carrying three different cameras is that I can capture three times as many images! Today I’m sharing the photos I shot with my mobile phone camera, and I still have another small batch from my Canon that I’ll share before too long. These are all images from my exploratory hike along the Bobcat Trail from our rental house atop the ridge down to Highway 1 and back.

There were a lot of stairs

To be honest, if I’d had any idea when I set out how much elevation was involved and how strenuous the climb would be, I probably wouldn’t have left the house! Still, as I look back through my photos, I’m very glad I didn’t know what was in store for me along the trail. I wouldn’t have missed this beautiful spot for the world.

Did I mention there were a lot of stairs?
