There is a little bit of nature nestled in the City of Long Beach. This place is going to be a GREAT place to do some photo shoots, and what makes it better is that it is so close to home. This is the El Dorado Nature Center. Jasmin and I have heard much about it but never took the time to go check it out. We decided Saturday would be the day we went to explore the city we live in. We have been out here for about 7 months now and we still are learning our way around and what places are local. I am constantly looking for photo shoot locations too so this was a trip with 2 goals. I managed to snap a few pics while walking around, The feel there is amazing, You would never guess that this place is in a city. It feels like we were hiking up in the mountains. They have a few trails, a couple lakes and enough trees to make you feel like your in the movie the Blair Witch Project!
Enjoy the pics!
This Squirrel ran right up to us, He was not afraid at all, I guess all the people that trek through his home have made him used to the intruders.
Jasmin says she can see a face in this pic... Can you spot it?
Who says the leaves don't change in California?
I attempted to take a picture of the bugs flying and this is what came out, I love the lens flare and that I was actually able to catch the bugs.
We had a great time walking this place, We are going to go back often, not only is it a great place to take photos but it is very relaxing and makes for some good exercise!
Until Next Time...
