Calero County Park
Cottonwood Lake
Reflections in Cottonwood Lake in Hellyer County Park. From this one spot, within 3 minutes of standing still, I saw fish jumping, three dragonflys, a little baby duck with a parent duck, and two small birds, all come to within ten feet of where I stood under a tree along the water. And then I watched this reflection in the lake for a while.
Parque De La Raza Disc Golf Course
This could have been a boring cinder block restroom building but an artist made it so much more interesting. This is at Parque De La Raza Disc Golf Course along the Coyote Creek in San Jose.

Martial Cottle Park
Sky from Martial Cottle Park
It is wonderful that within a city there are still spaces big enough to see this sky.
Bernal-Gulnac-Joice Ranch
Now part of the Santa Clara County Parks, this 20 acre San Jose, California ranch was once part of the nearly 10,000 acre Rancho Santa Teresa. It was run by Bernal and his descendants continuously from 1834, when this was still Mexico, until 1980.
It was purchased by IBM and then traded as part of a deal so that IBM could build a research lab up in the Santa Teresa hills of San Jose that had belonged to the Santa Clara County Parks.
