In San Diego, you don’t need to go too far to encounter wildlife. In fact, Balboa Park - a popular tourist spot featuring an assortment of local museums, gardens, and eateries - is an excellent place to spot some urban dwellers such as black phoebes, squirrels, and Eastern bluebirds. Here are some of my favourite images from an afternoon spent walking around the park and appreciating the urban wildlife that lives in this beautiful corner of Southern California.
The Sweetwater River Trail is one of my favourite easy walks in San Diego. A great place for a quiet early morning walk, with beautiful vegetation and bird life all year round. Scientific studies suggest that walks in nature reduce stress and improve mood, and I can certainly vouch for that. As the year comes to an end, take a moment to go on a virtual walk through nature with me on a crisp still morning. Enjoy the golden light of the sun on the trees, bushes, and flowers, spot the birds hiding in the bushes, and perhaps make your resolutions for the new year along the way. Here’s to a peaceful, happy, healthy, and successful 2023!
I’m very fortunate in that my work allows me to travel all over the world (more recently, throughout the US) and see some amazing places. Over my next few blog posts, I want to share some of the images I took a few weeks ago when I spent some time in southern Georgia and had a free couple of days to explore the surrounding areas.
These first few images are of the pine trees at Stephen C. Foster State Park and the surrounding Okefenokee Swamp area at dusk. I was so surprised by the natural beauty of these swamps; they were completely different from any other place I’ve visited before. Keep your eyes peeled for much more over the coming weeks!
