This morning I hiked the Torrey Pines Marsh Trail. My plan for a Meetup hike was altered by a dead battery – I left the lights on. This hike has been on my bucket list, so I didn’t mind crossing it off.

Plus, you turn around at Torrey Pines State Beach, so what’s not to like?

Coming back on the same trail can give you a new perspective.

It’s getting close to rattlesnake season, so I kept my eyes peeled and caught sight of some lizards basking in the sun and was surprised to spot some crabs.

I saw some of the usual plants but a few new ones as well.

I did make to Balboa Park this evening for a walk with a Meetup group.
