my daily
                            commute




just down the street from home I get on Hetch Hetchy Trail..
starting down Hetch Hetchy Trail
            7:00am




                                     lots of red-winged
                                   blackbirds and crows
                                                          2
                                        along the trail
crossing the pedestrian
bridge over Stevens Creek
              –
  entering Stevens Creek
            Trail
  I hear the sounds of the
water below as I thumpity
 thump thump across the
           bridge




                       3
4
Stevens Creek Trail
my morning friend…
we greet each other daily 5
another pedestrian bridge – nearer to SF Bay   6
a slough near the Bay

I hear the sound of birds
  and watch the ground
         squirrels

I avoid running over the
 beautiful white-shelled
snails that crisscross the
           trail




                             7
geese in the slough – the Bay is right around the next curve   8
on the trail next to the Bay
                                           9
Palo Alto and Menlo Park in the distance
geese ambush!   10
11
back on the trail – listening to the sound of quiet   12
watch out!   13
Rengstorff House




geese ambush!



                                   14
The Bay!   15
…almost to work   16
two minutes from the back
       parking lot


7:45am and five+ miles later


 what a beautiful commute!



now fast-forward to 5:15pm

   for the ride home……

                         17
my daily commute home




5:15pm leave work – this is right behind the parking lot
                                                           18
heading towards the Bay
                          19
windy ride home
                  20
every day looks different from the day before
                                                21
Shoreline Amphitheatre seen from the trail
                                             22
23
24
heading back
   towards the
     slough

this is a really fun
 part of the trail!




                       25
the slough was calm this morning – now if I stop pedaling I will go
           backwards or fall over because of the wind!        26
27
the South Bay vista from the same place
on the trail towards home   28
near my friend the rooster – he hides this time of evening   29
Hetch Hetchy Trail goes through the park…

I’ll be done with my commute in about
              5 minutes…

 think about riding YOUR bike to work!
