Point Pinole

Everybody,
I went to Point Pinole in Richmond on Wednesday to walk Nina and I felt like I had to go back because it was so pretty. So on saturday we decided to go there. I called my friend to ask if she wants to come with us. YES, was the answer. Five minutes later, another friend called to ask if we can go to the Thai temple on Sunday to meet the friend I just called. So, it was a very nice coincidence. All of us went there together. Point Pinole was the place they made dynamite in the Gold Rush. We can still see the hollow thing they used to test the dynamite. Now the whole area is a park. A very nice park. There are a lot of birds, trees (mostly Eucalyptus), grass. It's a very good place for living things. It was my first time seeing a natural pond in the US. It was so beautiful. We were there for three hours. We still had a lot more to see though. It was a little windy on the beach, of course. Except for the windy part, everything was perfect. We walked along the beach and sometimes on the trail. Check the pictures out. They must have been much nicer if they were taken by a professional photographer.
This is the pond I talked about. I did take a some pictures of two ducks; mother duck and a duckling. The second one I really like the combibation of colors and geography. It doesn't need much to make the last photo look professional because it was very pretty by itself.
