Hidden Lakes Park in the Early Mornings

Early Morning walks at Hidden Lakes Park in Martinez.

There are some things to see at Hidden Lakes park in the early morning if you can get up.

Today taking my dog out for an early morning walk with my camera on my shoulder I got it witness a couple of great things.

The early morning dew on leaves and spider webs. The sun rising over Mount Diablo and the shadows it cast.

Then, out of nowhere a coyote! He was just walking along by the upper baseball field. My dog was very excited to see this other dog. The coyote just walked casually along just looking at us. Of course I tried to take some pictures but my dog was pulling me so I only got one semi-good picture.

But it was nice to see other wildlife in the park. I have seen deer but no pictures just yet!

Today’s sunrise was very nice. Clear with few clouds. I walked to the top of the most eastern hill and had a great view of Mount Diablo as the sun peaked over it.

Around the lakes it was all still with just a few birds and a duck. The sun was coming through the trees casting great shadows through the trees and across the lakes itself. It was a cold morning with a great sunrise. It was a treat for anyone to be out and witness what I saw.

I have found it's very hard to find a parking spot there. Another negative is the number of theRead More "constant outsdoorsmen" types lurking all around. I've been confronted several times and worried about leaving my car there.

The Fire Crew worked very late into the night and into the next morning. The Police were alsoRead More working nearby, picking up some of the dead baby animals that were hit on the road, displaced by the fire.

Hi Robert, Thanks for dropping in and checking out the blog. The new Patch look is so 'new' as I amRead More still learning to navigate through. Just updated it and added the link to my film review. Thanks again. Cheers!

I am happy to know that Mr. Behan's review of "STID" is now available. Might we knowRead More where it is available? Perhaps I am just an Apple lovin' technopeasant, but despite my frantic serial clicking on text without links, I could not find the actual story. Alas and alack I may never know why there is no darkness in "...Into Darkness" (or Lightness). Oh, and welcome back Jim!

Do City Council members still get free parking passes as perk?

The main reason I don't go to any of the businesses downtown is the lack of parking. What littleRead More there is is taken up by the owners of these establishments. God forbid they park somewhere else less convenient so actual paying customers can frequent their businesses.

Jim, then that's yet another penalty for showing up for jury duty. The system needs a big overhaul.Read More
