People: Recreational activities by the Upper Newport bay...........

It was a sun-kissed pleasant early spring day in Upper Newport Bay. The mild breeze was carrying the aroma of wild plants. The birds were creating a pleasant cacophony and the hawks were gliding overhead.  Its not surprising that flocks of outdoor-loving people hit the dust and gavel path with their family and pets.

Its adjoining coastal scrubs of chaparral offers great trails for horseback riding...wilderness offers fabulous trails for enthusiastic horseback riders. Lost in photo-shooting the mockingbird perched atop the berry-laden Brazil pepper tree, I was startled by the trotting sound. As I looked down behind the veil of rambles, saw a lady mounted on a majestic horse galloping ahead......

Also, these adventurous women riding horse near the marshy trails ...It must be a thrilling experience to mount the chestnut horses on such a sunny day amidst such scenic setting of the estuary.

Many more.......





Two golfers honing their skills ...on my way to Upper Newport Bay reserve, I pass by this sprawling golf course and the activity going inside the fence makes me pause for a while and take some snap shots....

A cyclist pauses on the trail to watch the sunset on the picturesque bay. This coastal wetland created by  Pacific Ocean is a paradise for cyclists, horseback riders, hikers, joggers, dog walkers, birders, ecologists, nature lovers. The plethora of migrating birds and the twice a day tides are added attractions of this estuary.
