People tend to not be good tourists in their places of residence. I suppose this might be because the local sights will "always" be there and thus there is no sense of urgency to get out and check them out. I try to force myself to bring my camera out with me around town so I can take some time to appreciate what is in close proximity rather than traveling to far off places to take pictures.
I took some photos at the California Academy of Sciences in San Francisco. I was amazed by this four story rainforest dome exhibit. It is about 80F and 75% humidity. Lots of plants, birds, and butterflies. I tried to catch a few of the butterflies with close-up shots while they were taking breaks on branches.
I also have some photos from around Redwood City. These photos are from my folks' backyard, Pulgas Ridge, and Edgewood Park. I enjoy walking around these local spots. My folks' backyard is obviously close but Pulgas Ridge and Edgewood are only about 10 minutes from their house. I am always amazed that I can get lost in foothills and away from all that is modern in about 10 minutes.
It is getting a little cold and dark here for winter and thus it was a good reminder when looking at these photos that spring is around the corner!
