Baylands Nature Preserve

My sister and nephew are visiting me next week so I've been looking up attractions nearby to keep them entertained during their stay. Baylands Nature Preserve popped on the list and I decided to ride over to have a look on this gorgeous day.

While chatting with a local cyclist, I found out that the Preserve was a landfill till 2011. Now according to their website, the Nature Preserve has become one of the best bird watching spot on the west coast. I had to believe it because I saw a humming bird hovering in the air for the first time in my life!

I got to try out my new Plantinum Carbon Ink Pen and it was great. The ink dried faster than Noodler's Bulletproof and the pen worked beautifully on my Fabriano Artistico soft press paper.
