A perfect day: Tilden Regional Park, continued

Tilden Regional park in Berkeley is a must go back to place. In addition to the weather being wonderfully perfect, the area is beautiful. And, there’s a lot to do. I would have loved to go to the children’s farm to capture the animals in my lens, but we ran out of time. We needed to leave to avoid the worst of the traffic.

So, here are pictures of the golf course from where we ate, the steam train and the merry-go-round. Needless to say, I slept on the way home. It was a full day of shooting. Yes, we will go back.

 

 

Finding cooler weather: Tilden Regional Park, Berkeley, California

Yes, we ran away! At least 1 1/2 hours west where the temperatures were about 20 degrees cooler. And, we enjoyed it. Camera Totin’ Tuesdays went to Tilden Regional Park in Berkeley and visited the Botanical Gardens, Golf Course, steam train and carousel.

It was a wonderful day. The park is magnificent and large, and the weather was delightful. While we didn’t expect any flowers this late in summer, we managed to find small blooms in the Botanical Gardens. The gardens were large and separated into different areas. We managed to walk through the entire garden before we stopped for lunch at the Golf Course.

After lunch we rode the miniature steam train and went to shoot the carousel (merry-g0-round). But, we didn’t get to everything. Maybe we’ll go back. Right now it’s in the high 80’s and low 90’s in the Sacramento area so we stayed local yesterday and visited the Sacramento Zoo.

In this post I’ll show you some of the Botanical Gardens. In my next post, I’ll show the rest. I hope those of you who are enjoying summer, are cool!
