Walks in SFO Area - Tom Stiles

On Saturday May 3rd I walked for "Fear-No-More" in three parks in San Francisco. Primary among these was the Presidio, in the north-west corner of the city, along the shore on either side of the Golden Gate Bridge, out to the Pacific, and on up the hill half a mile all along.

The Presidio is home to many species of trees, including eucalyptus, and therefore also many birds and other wildlife.

I walked on part of the Bay Trail in the Presidio….. this is a trail that traces the shoreline of San Francisco and San Pablo Bays, over 500 miles when it’s done, and it’s over half completed now. It offers non-motorized access to some of the most scenic, and in some cases wildlife-protected shoreline on the Bay.

I walked in a dog-walk zone where human people exercised their relationships to canine people... observing how dogs bring people together.

May all people come together on the ground of a fearless world for non-humans and humans alike.
