So now after our second visit to Crissy Field in San Francisco I must say it is our favorite beach!!! But this time it wasn’t as easy to get to. First of all Crissy Field is part of the National Parks system so that meant that the parking lots were closed and we had to walk about 1/4 mile to get to the beach, but I did happen to see 3 different U.S. Park Rangers driving around so I was a bit confused. Anyhow for a visit on a Saturday the beach was great! This time there were many more dogs running around which meant less birds landing and Riley paying attention to me as she ran around. She had fun chasing little dogs who were chasing balls.
Though I normally shoot close up shots, I think these long distance ones tell more of a story. Enjoy!
We are so happy to resume blogging our activities by joining in the Black & White Sunday Blog Hop hosted by our friends Dachshund Nola & My Life in Blog Years!!
That looks like SO MUCH FUN! (Well except the water part… I don’t like water.) You look like you’re having an awesome time. Glad to get to know you!

Thanks!! it was a lot of fun, I find it so relaxing watching Riley run around and have fun 🙂
Riley looks very happy. I would be too. What a beautiful beach. I wish we had more like these here. Worth the 1/4 mile walk I think.

It was worth the walk… but I had Katie with us (which I forgot to take pictures of her) and she couldn’t walk that far on the pavement. 🙁 not that it was too hot, she has very delicate toes. lol
haven’t seen you around in quite some time! Hope all is well, great photos!

I know… it’s taken me about 9 weeks to adjust my life as a college student… I have been writing, just not publishing. So glad to be back 🙂
Riley looks SO happy!

It’s so awesome Oskar!! Thanks for visiting us 🙂
I can see why you like this beach – it looks terrific. Great scenery and the Golden Gate to look at.

That looks like so much fun!!
Hopefully someday you can add this to your travels too Roxy!! 🙂
How FUN! It looks like it was a nice day. Hope the water was warm too. Happy Black n White Sunday. Lots of Golden Woofs, Sugar

I don’t know if the water was warm, but a bunch of big dogs where bouncing in and out of the waves. I was expecting for it to be 63 degrees and chilly (as San Fran can be) but it was 80!!…. Riley can’t swim well so she only gets the toes wet 🙂
So that’s the actual Golden Gate Bridge!! Wow. To think you can walk on the beach right next to it. I’m amazed. Great to see Riley having so much fun and also the sail boats. She probably thought it was worth going through the stinky duck pond even though she’d get a bath afterwards 🙂

Believe it or not, but being from California and having visited San Fran many times I never knew about this beach until last month when I was looking for a dog friendly beach. It’s nice to go somewhere and have a ton of dog friendly dogs running around 🙂 I hope someday you can visit… as I hope someday I can visit NZ 🙂
Mr. N also thinks that chasing dogs with balls is the best. Don’t you love watching them run? Riley looks so intense!

It was so much fun and relaxing for me, as I was judging an agility trial that weekend… and as life would have it I was yelled at that day so sitting and watching her have so much fun let everything disappear 🙂
Beautiful fun despite the shutdown. And there was likely a bath after all that sandy running? Hopefully that was fun too.

The great thing about being at the beach that day was that it was also free to cross the Golden Gate!! She ended up having an impromptu bath but that was only because she went through a duck pond… I didn’t get pictures of that because I was so mortified and she was STINKY!!! but it was very funny 🙂
