A collection of my “open space” photos, most taken on day hikes around Los Angeles and Orange Counties and a few in Tulare, Kern, Santa Barbara, Ventura Counties and San Diego Counties. On this site you will find trail pictures and other information about many popular wild and scenic spots in Southern and Central California.

“Open space” could be a state park or beach, a coastal area, a wilderness park or natural preserve. Open space is good for our environment and offers many outdoor recreational opportunities such as hiking, mountain biking, picnics, camping, wildlife and native plant viewing, photography or just to enjoy the natural scenic beauty of California.
