Santee Lakes


Welcome to my new blog - this is all very new for me!

I'd like to show you around San Diego, my city in Southern California. We're almost on the border with Mexico, a warm sunny part of the US.

This morning I headed out early to a series of small lakes, just east over some small mountains from San Diego. The little rural community is called Santee.

For $30 a year I buy a park pass to enter as much as I want. There are 4 or 5 lakes - the one you see here had a freeway built on top of it and in the early morning light the reflection of the water danced on the cement above.





Fishermen use these lakes. They were setting up their spots when I arrived.

I found myself speculating that it's a good thing this man is adding more fish to his diet.












I wonder if all these leaves beneath one tree have a similar fingerprint we can read?
