Group Hiking -Sanborn county park during misty time

Saturday is a hiking day or waste cleanup day for me. Sometimes Sunday too. As usual on Saturday night I went for hiking in Sanborn county park with my office colleagues . Just a brief recall for you all. My office colleague and I started a hiking group, and we are hiking since November 2020. Thanks to my senior colleague Kamesh. He took an initiate for forming this group. Hiking group members are hiking enthusiast and wanted to hike twice a week. I admire their interest and efforts. I can able to learn team work through this activity with them . I always thought of me as not getting along with others. So this group hiking helps me to improve on that.

Now coming back to today's hiking. Its been long I hiked with them. So I was wanting to hike with them this week, and as so, we decided to hike today in Sanborn county park. Two new people shown interest to hike with us, but they couldn't able to join. Glad to see this hiking group growing. 

Today, it was so beautiful and magical. We had rainy weather today. Though it wasnt a surprise, we really got mesmerized seeing the trees and mountains engulfed by mist. We were coming up with words like mystical and mysterious seeing this nature phenomenon. Had loads of fun while hiking. Got a chance to get to know about each other well. We clicked lot of pictures. Some misty pictures are shown below




How is this work of nature? 




A big rock looks like a mountain. Tried climbing here, but was a futile effort, didn't want to get hurt..hahah










This is my most favorite picture. Top view of a tree engulfed by misty. Shared this picture with @arborsmorty twitter handle. I think I will relish this picture for long.


Thank you mother nature!!

This is a 5 week program that is very enjoyable and learning experience for volunteers. At the end of Tree Amigo program, they provide a program completion certificate and a nice T-shirt. They utilize the help of Tree Amigos and new volunteers in their mission of greenifying the city.  I used to think tree planting is very simple. We got to just dig the pit, and plant a sapling. After completing the Tree Amigo program, I realized utmost care is needed while planting the trees and also while taking care of it when it is growing up. We

Solo hiking#3-Rancho San Antonio park, Cupertino

 Solo hiking gives one a much needed rejuvenation and some time for self reflection along with improvement in endurance. I started doing solo hiking from October 2018 in trails which I am very familiar about it and find it as safe. I met random hikers on the way, strike a conversation and exchange smiles along the way. Doesn't it sound refreshing? yes for sure. Can sense self motivation while walking in strenuous path. Body and mind copes up well when something in you motivates to push harder. There will be some calculative risk such as encountering wild animals, getting late for exiting or coming to safe spot, running out of water and food, and increasing chances of getting injured. It will be challenging to cope up while alone. I did may be my 4th Solo hiking in Rancho San Antonio Preserve. Rancho San Antonio preserve is a beautiful park with gorgeous mountains, landscapes and many hiking trials. I did 12 miles long hike. It was used to be pretty   Sunset view at top of mountain

Trees, shrubs, river creek, mountain and birds sounds makes the cleanup more enjoyable. But sometimes plethora of unchecked wastes in natural places give sadness and demotivation. At those times, one more factor comes into the picture gives much needed motivation and energy to perform the cleanup activity. That is the enthusiasm of the volunteers toward the waste cleanup activity.
