Wild bunny rabbit at Lake Yosemite in Merced County

This picture is of a wild little bunny rabbit. This was at the entrance of a place in unincorporated Merced County called Lake Yosemite.

There are lots of wild bunny rabbits like this in Merced, and I have posted other pictures of them.

Tower at Lake Yosemite

See this picture of the tower? This tower is a sentimental favorite of mine, from my youth. You're not supposed to, and they put up a fence to stop people, but if you try hard enough, you are able to climb out the end of that platform and hang out underneath the water tower shown in this picture.

This is a water tower at a place in unincorporated Merced County called Lake Yosemite. When I was a kid, I used to frequently throw rocks at it.

For years, in fact, there used to actually be a hole in the roof. Lots of people would walk by and throw rocks at the roof, in an attempt to make it in the gapping hole. I was surprised in 2009, when I visited and noticed that the roof had been fixed. I even mentioned this at the time.

You can see another view of this tower here.

Cow in meadow near Lake Yosemite in Merced County

You generally can't go wrong taking a picture of a cow! And this picture, well, it's no exception!

This picture was taken near a place near I grew up called Lake Yosemite. There are many cows in the fields near where I grew up.

Twisted tree root on the shore of Lake Yosemite

This picture was one that I remember liking. This picture was taken in 2009 at a place called Lake Yosemite, which is in unincorporated Merced County, near where I grew up.

I have lived in Seattle since September of 1997, and except for a year that I spent in Fresno in 2003/2004, I hadn't been back much to my home town.

I returned in 2009 for about three months, as my family was extremely pissed that I had lost my job. My family is very conservative.

My hometown in 2009 was suffering from the worst economy I had ever seen it go through in my lifetime. Thanks, largely, to the housing bubble.

Here are some other random pictures I took in the area of Lake Yosemite.

Colorful tree branch on the shore of Lake Yosemite outside of Merced

This picture was a Merced area picture from 2009 that I really liked. This picture was taken a place called Lake Yosemite.

This was a tree branch that was on the ground, it was very colorful. Lake Yosemite is not far from where I lived when I was younger, and I would frequently go on walks to the lake.

Here are some other random pictures that I posted in the area around Lake Yosemite.

View from Foster Island of flowers - in background is Husky Stadium

This picture was a simple picture, but I liked the way that it turned out.

This is the view from a place in Seattle called Foster Island (it might have been on the first Marsh Island, but I am pretty sure it was on Foster). You can see some flowers in the foreground. It is a little hard to make out, but there in the middle of the picture, in the distance, is Husky Stadium.

This is a nice area, and if you live in Seattle and have never checked it out, you should. You can read an article about this area here.

You can also go to this little area by the stadium and rent row boats for a small fee.
