Back in April 2016, my mom traveled out here to California for one of her semi-annual visits. She had never been to the State Capitol building before, so we decided to use one of the days that she was here to take a drive up to Sacramento.
I love capturing the beauty of the surrounding area, so I didn't mind taking her up to the 'City of Trees' for a day trip, although I have to say that the drive up there is really boring! I only wish we could have had time to visit the Old Sacramento Historic District. Anyway, here are some of the shots that I took:

Full view of the California State Capitol Building in Sacramento. |

Capturing the phrasing. I forget which building this is, officially, but it was located to the side of the main Capitol building. |

Again, the phrasing. This was on the other side from the previous photo's building. |

Just walking around and capturing the view! |

Of course, I couldn't leave out the flora! |

More of the scenery, just outside the Capitol Building. |

There were lots of cyclists visiting on the day we were there! |

Looking down the street leading up to the building, taken from inside. |

This was really neat, the guide was showing us an old photo of the desk that is seen in the background, in its glory days. I love how this turned out. |
Stay tuned for Alcatraz & Angel Island!
