Having a
son living in San Francisco gives a beautiful opportunity for a nice trip. Our
aim was Crater Lake, Oregon. As soon as
you have left Sacramento behind, you find yourself in an area with wild refuges
and a little further up north with lots of lakes which attract all sorts of (water)birds.
We’ve seen black-necked stilts, green herons, western grebes (photo), white
pelicans, nutcrackers, steller’s jay
(photo), red-winged and yellow-headed blackbirds, white-faced ibises and last but not least the bald eagle. To make
this paradise picture complete, the cute mule deer appeared among the flowers every
now and again.
Crater
lake, immense and impressive because of its size, was an adventure in itself, especially since
we wanted to climb down to take a tasty mouthful of the cristal clear water of
the lake…
San
Francisco itself remains an interesting, hilly and sometimes foggy city. It has
perspectives from many crossroads all
the way to the seaside, great bridges, spacious parks, old buildings and a colorful
population.
Again, never a
dull moment in America!
