Place: Glacier national park reminisces.........

In summer 2013, we had visited Glacier National Park.......So many things happened in that year, I had not got time to blog on the beautiful discoveries...

Place: Hiking in Wilderness Glen Park Nature Trail......

Summer is in its peak.....Strenuous hiking is not possible...so we did a short urban hike in our Mission Viejo neighborhood....Wilderness Glen Park Nature Trail..6 min drive from our house..

A view of the Saddleback mountain.......

The canyons covered in vegetation...sycamore, palm, sage, toyon...

Clumps of cactus..with ripe fruits...

Saw birds..scrub jay, woodpecker, towhee......


Squirrels, and rabbits too.......
