A photo before the leaves come back on the poplar trees of this central Marin tree house

There are so many trails in Marin, often the trail starts from your or your neighbor's back door. That daily contact with nature during your daily excersise or while walking you dog is part of the Marin lifestyle.

This is another photo on aRing mountain trail, walking over lichen covered rocks along the crest of a mount tam spur, over hills and through open meadows.

From the top of ring mountain you have views of the bay on three side with Mount Tam above on the fourth side. Other photo entries here at Marin for All show those views.

Hiking in the Marin hills usually alows glimpses of the marin Towns and neigborhoods below...sometimes you also get San Frnacisco bay panoramas.

This ring mountain shot (not my best but a seaonal shot) offers Peaks of the Marin towns of Corte Madera, Larkspur, Kentfield and Green brae on one side and Tiburon, Belvedere, Mill Valley, and Sausalito on the other.

This Ring mountain photo offers a glimpse out over Tiburon towards San
Francisco across the bay:

Hiking at the end of the day, I wish time just stopped sometimes. The hill letting the sun through seemed like a personal favor to me.

Simple pleasures and sights outdoors in Marin!

Outdoor living in Marin County, Califoria: rain, shine, or shining after the rain.

Soccer was "rained out" today...fields were soaked but sky...

was marinlike...this is a block from our house.
