Sometimes a spur-of-the-moment escape can be a real treat. Fires had kept us from camping enough this summer, but luckily enough rain had fallen to calm those down -- not completely, but enough to make it safe to venture into the parkland. 
Just a few days, but the perk of being offline, especially without news to contend with...ahhh. 
The campsite in Manning Park was right beside the river. Our only real companion was a Steller's Jay who insisted on hoping for snacks. 
Mornings were time for exploring trails. Sunny afternoons meant lazy times for reading. 
A great way to charge up the batteries for the rest of the year.
