The joy of discovery

This morning, I ran up a trail that I hadn't explored before, and I discovered the Walnut Creek Open Space. The really neat part about it is that it's up in the hills, so there are plenty of spots for a nice view of the valley. In some ways it's a shame that the sun comes up so late these days, because it's really hard to take nice pictures without a tripod with the light that I have when running. (And it helps that I managed to forget to try and take a few at a higher ISO than 80. =)
