Lindo Channel, PV High School, more!

                  After our hike to the Sierra Nevada Mountains on Friday, I decided to spend Saturday just exploring our neighborhood some more. I hiked up the Lindo Channel that runs behind our house and then circled around to the high school, where a little kids' football game was going on. The channel is a tremendous natural area that draws lots of wildlife and birds. Neighbors report sighting of coyotes and mountain lions along with lots of deer, raccoons, quail, skunks, etc. So, I probably shouldn't have been surprised to see the following sight on my hike, but it is a little jarring, nonetheless.

Sorry for the graphic nature of this.....
I enjoyed snooping around Pleasant Valley High School (PVHS) which is only about three blocks from us. I love the outside lockers and the individual classroom buildings.  And, yes, their mascot is the VIKING!

The weather has continued to be outstanding. Although it gets cool in the morning and evening (50s), it gets into the high 70s during the day with clear, blue skies.  Whenever I get a little bored, I just get on the bike and always seem to find something interesting. Saturday night I rode to a new section of Upper Bidwell Park and happened upon a group of more than a dozen deer grazing on the golf course. Here are some pictures of that part of the park:
