Playing with the Waves

Pacific Ocean

"The gently winding trail, slightly more than two miles in each direction, passes through several micro-environments, including meadows, low mountains, stands of redwoods and eucalyptus, a lagoon, a beach and cove and, at the endpoint, the world's largest ocean.

In the spring and summer, wildflowers abound on the trail, and deer, frogs, various birds and other wildlife can often be sighted. The trail is open to pedestrians and bicyclists.

The first half-mile or so of the trail is paved, giving way to a dirt path. The trail in the distance, though, is a different, much steeper trail. Soon after the pavement turns to dirt, low mountains rise into view. Wildflowers can be seen on both sides of the trail.

The trail passes through meadows after the halfway mark. Along the way, one can see several patches of horsetails, one of the oldest, fundamentally unchanged plants in the world. Named because of their resemblance to horses' tails, they have been around for over 300 million years, and are related to no other plants.

Nearing the end of the trail, the lagoon comes into view, with the Pacific Ocean beyond."

... und heute besuchte mich mal eine Sichelschrecke und ich muss sagen es war ein sehr angenehmer Besuch. Da die Schrecke auch ständig das rechte Bein austreckte ging ich zuerst davon aus, dass sie ein paar Gymnastikübungen auf meinem Finger absolvieren wollte. Tatsache aber wird wohl sein, dass es eine Drohgebärde war wie auch bei vielen anderen Insekten, wie Bienen, Hummeln und Käfern :-)
