This morning around 9AMish I took a drive to Stage RD again the road I took last weekend with the group. This time I was alone. I wanted to take pictures on this trip with my handy dandy phone! I started out at Saratoga the small town with little white lights at night. Slowly snaked my way to sky following a trunk. Sky vista Point overlooking the the city. Stayed there for a good 10 minutes or so enjoying the breeze and fresh air. Admiring the wonderful landscape. It was quiet. Started to drive to Alice restaurant. Spotted a lot of motorcycles in the area perhaps a club or organization. I made a left onto La Honda. The turns are so smooth it doesn't take too much steering to turn it eases right in for both wide left and right. Not too many bicyclist and it's been pretty empty throughout the trip. Few steep hills and many variety of turns. I spotted an orange Lotus! This is the picture I wanted to take during the car meet and last time with @

the trees on both sides. It feels like a red carpet for the car going into some magical place at the end of the road. Perhaps a rich mansion house or a castle! I decided to do a detour heading towards the beach instead of heading home. I met a friendly couple who were out there dolphin watching. I tried taking pictures to see if I happen to catch a dolphin...No good. They're definitely out there swimming about. The salty sea water smell a scent like no other. It wasn't cold just right. It was gorgeous out there. I went home afterwards and took a last picture of sky before leaving! I'm practicing manual mode when driving up and down pick up speed slowing down. I had some slip in the back and few quiet screech tires in the turns. Was going a between overboard and safe on the white line. Love it.
