These pictures were taken 4-23-11 at Tenaja Falls. These trails can be found in the La Cresta Area, west of Murrieta. There are lots of trails to choose from and this particular one took a good 20 minutes to get to. Had to travel across some narrow mountain roads but still easily accessible.
Here's a glance of what you can see nearing the end of the trail we took, it was really quite the site.
At the end of our trail hike we came across the Tenaja Waterfalls, nothing huge but still a site to see. And a nice place to set up for a quick snack before heading back.
There is a lot of wild flowers up on the trail, this particular one is a Wild Hyacinth, they were quite common.
Third (and probably not last) set of pictures I took on our latest trip to seaworld...there will probably be more coming as we get into seaworld for free
One of two polar bears we saw at the exhibit, he plopped down after a while and I decided it made an nice shot.
Seaworld is definitely an awesome place to visit if you live in the SanDiego/Riverside area! Only about 45-60 minutes away from Murrieta it doesn't make for a bad drive either. This posts has a few pictures gathered on our second visit to Seaworld.
Sea turtle sun bathing over by the rapids ride.
One of the dolphins coming close to the people watching them poolside.
Oceanside beach is only 30-40 minutes away from Murrieta, and while a bit cold, still holds many nice sights to see, including a Pier with a Mimi's Cafe on it, hotels, events and lots more!
At the end of the day, there was a beautiful sunset towards the pier. Off the parking lot this is the first thing you see. Nothing like Beach Volley Ball!
About an hours drive south down to San Diego, you'll reach Sea world. An amusement park full of fun shows, exhibits and rides. Here are a few picture from the last time I went.
This was part of the Believe show, close to the end. Sun bathing turtle in the exhibit near the rapids ride.
My name is Steven, I’ve been living in Murrieta 18 years, so I’ve seen it grow quite a bit! I love photography but am still very much an amateur so I’ve set up this blog to do some practicing! For those that are curious, I use a Canon PowerShot A2000 IS (6x zoom), nothing fancy but does a good job ^_^. I also do some photo editing with Adobe Photoshop CS3, but no major changes.
All the time I’ve lived here I’ve loved it, and never really got why some were so bored in this town. My favorite thing is that this town has some areas that are more urbanized while there are still many areas with open space. I enjoy taking pictures of the latter and quite often take my dog along as well, so he might pop up every now and then.
