Indian Rock (Pictures are in reverse order)

I arrived at school to meet up with everyone I carpool with. When everyone was ready to go, I offered to drive and we left to go to Indian Rock. When we got there, we were kind of confused. We were expecting to end up in the country or a more isolated area, but we stopped at a residential area. At first we thought we were at the wrong place, but we saw Deborah's car. We walked through the gates to see some of our classmates. We walked around for awhile and took pictures until everyone got there. The first thing that I saw was the big rock at the very top of the hill. I went around the rock to find a mix of oil pictograms and spray painted tagging from the Vista Home Boyz. It's a shame that people vandalize other people's property, especially when what they're destroying is part of a culture's history.
The view was really beautiful from the top of the hill. You could see all of Vista from that hill. Right before we started our tour, I saw a butterfly and I took about 4 pictures of it. The best one was the last one, because its wings opened up. Later, when we moved towards the top of the hill. Our tour guide told us about these berries that all the birds come to eat. He said there would be at least 5 birds on one branch trying to get its share of berries. Those berries are the same berries that me and my sister used to throw at each other when we were little. After the tour ended, we were let loose to take pictures. I got a really good picture of two lizards: one was black and the other was brown. What I really liked about the black lizard, besides the fact that it is rare that you see a black lizard, is that you can see the blue spotted scales on it. This is the closest picture of a lizard I got all day and I felt like I achieved something big after that. We then ate a delicious lunch. The sandwich was so good I had to get a second one. They were really kind to us for preparing us food. Right before we left, I saw a hummingbird. I was rushing to delete pictures I didn't like, because I had no more room. I finally got a shot while it was in the air. I'm really happy I got this shot, because I really like hummingbirds.
