Oliver takes a hike in Muir Woods

And hike he did - almost all the way to the top of the Oceanview Trail! He would have kept going (in fact, he tried to) but it was starting to get dark and the park would soon be closing, so we had to turn around and head back to the parking area before the ranger came and eighty-sixed us.

Ollie was very curious about all the different types of flora he saw along the trail, and was equally enamored of the fauna we encountered: a baby deer and a banana slug.

A wonderful time was had by all. Ollie got to experience nature up-close, Mommy got to hug some trees, and I got to practice my photography in some very challenging, high-contrast light.
