There is a pleasure in the pathless woods,
There is a rapture on the lonely shore,
There is society, where none intrudes,
By the deep sea, and music in its roar:
I love not man the less, but Nature more

Getting to Annadel Park in Sonoma…
We stopped at one of my favorite bakeries, Basque Café on the square in Sonoma…
Morning light…
On the trail…
Some pretty views…
Glad you had a great walk Elissa, no matter how difficult it must have been (as you mentioned).
Wonderful photos!

Thanks Nev! It wasn’t all that difficult, just more painful than I am accustomed to.
