I took at walk at Dry Creek Pioneer Regional Park on the border of Hayward and Union City near my house. It has an interesting history. Edith, Mildred, and Jeanette Meyers, three sisters of Alameda who were very involved in local charities and fundraisers during the early and mid 1900s. The sisters also owned the 1,200-acre Dry Creek Ranch, which was donated to the Park District in 1979 and later opened as Dry Creek Regional Park. I did forget that it was a cow grazing area:
Dry Creek Pioneer Regional Park is a hidden gem of our regional park systems.
Beautiful! I love the fresh green of Spring and seeing the animals looking so content doing what animals do.
ReplyDeleteThat is amazing!

Love the tree avenue photo! Thanks for linking up! x
ReplyDeleteNice place, and green, too. Even with the drought, there is green. You must have gotten more rain up there than we did here in SoCal.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos! I love the cows. Have a great week.
ReplyDeleteNice hike in the greenery of spring. Looks like the cattle thought you might be an intruder!
ReplyDeleteLovely to live near the open countryside!
ReplyDeleteThank you for joining us at the Oh My Heartsie Girl Wordless Wednesday! I look forward to seeing you again next week!

ReplyDeleteI love how you framed the entrance in the first photo and that black white black cow shot and the dead tree too.
ReplyDeleteLovely scenery and lovely cows - did they make you jump? Thank you once again for linking up with #AnimalTales.
ReplyDeleteHi Patrick, how cool to see the cows! I live in a city where I won't see animals unless I go to the zoo so it's really nice to see them when blog hopping.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures, somewhere nice and peaceful to collect your thoughts too :)
ReplyDeleteLove the shot of the cow glaring at you from under the shrub.
ReplyDeleteHere's mine!
What a fab place to visit... Great shots - thanks for sharing. :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Wordless Wednesday!
Absolutely beautiful!
ReplyDeleteHappy to see the pictures! We're getting park weather here now too and I can't wait to start going again!
ReplyDeleteHi Patrick, beautiful photos. I thought this looked like Northern, CA. I just looked it up. Not too far from me. We hike a bit, maybe the hubby and I will check this one out. I love cows. ;-) You were my neighbor on Wedded Wednesday.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful place to walk!
ReplyDeleteThe groves and stream are great!! Thanks for sharing these photos, so peaceful!

Awww, now this brings me back down memory lane of my childhood!! lovely lovely. and mine even had grazing cows too! ha
ReplyDeletenothing like being in Nature to restore the spirit and refresh the soul. um, as long as you watch your step yeah. LOL
This looks like a gorgeous area to go for a hike.
ReplyDeleteCool! I wasn't familiar with this park, but the images remind me of Mission Peak in Fremont before it gets hotter and everything turns brown.
ReplyDeleteAn absolutely quiet, peaceful yet fully alive place. I'd love to just mope around there looking at everything. Thanks so much for stopping by, and for sharing all these great pictures.
ReplyDeleteCan you imagine owning 1200 acres? That would be awesome, if taxes weren't so horrible! I'd be content if we had a mere acre or two, but it's hard finding nice level plots that doesn't cost an arm & a leg. Cool pix & fun outing!
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures. I love that it was also a cow grazing area. How unique!
ReplyDeleteIt looks beautiful. Thanks for sharing with us at Pin-Worthy Wednesday!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a lovely spot! Thanks for sharing at Merry Monday, hope to see you again tomorrow night!
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful places! It looks like you had a great time! Thanks for sharing your photos at Inspire Me Monday!
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty park.
