An unexpected photoshoot

So today I got out to do some photography, not sure where initially. I thought of the mountains or Claremont Colleges, which has a lot of nature to shoot. I finally decided to revisit CalPoly Pomona campus where the farm animals were. I went there before with my son and saw some different animals such as pigs & hogs, llamas and horses. However, when I arrived I didn't see many animals except for sheep. I thought they must be in the shade somewhere since it's been so hot. However, after driving a little further uphill, I discovered a trail that led uphill, so I found a parking space nearby and thought 'well, lets see what's in store for today'. Well, thankfully it turned out to be both a nice hike and photo opp. Mostly nature shots such as trees, flowers and plants. I took some photos of the trail and benches along the way as well. Pictured is just one of many photos I got in today. I post most of my photos over at 5oopx but I wanted to share at least one of them.


There are definitely some areas I would love to use for some future portrait shots I want to do with a friend. Hopefully we will make it before school starts this Fall, or on the weekend. :)
