With an action packed weekend as usual, I squeezed in a hike this afternoon.  My first time to Almaden Quicksilver park in South San Jose.  This park is huge with lots of trails to choose from.  Since I didn't have that much time, I settled for a couple mile loop and hiked for around an hour and a half.  With mostly an uphill start, I got my exercise in for the day.  I discovered I need to read my camera's manual as I couldn't figure out how to set both the shutter speed and aperture when in Manual mode.  I need to do this for panoramas to work.  I was able to get one panorama, but with a much wider f/stop that I had hoped. 

Here's the photo album :
