A walk in Tilden park,I

I had a walk today in Tilden Park. The weather was nice as well as the scenery. Here some pictures:


This picture is taken at the start of the Sylvan/Peak trail, just after Jewel lake.
Not sure if these are juniper berries. I doubt it.

Not sure what this is either. Looks like a big dried up 'distel'

On the top of wild cat peak, this nice bird was about his business.
