On Saturday afternoon, after a debate on the subject "To work in the garden or to hike nature garden," we drove up Pagemill Rd. to Skyline Blvd. We hiked among the green hills of the Russian Ridge Open Space and took photos of the wild flowers. In spring as we hike and the hills are green we always say:
"Soon the hills will be dry."
I always add:
"They are green only for a couple of months."
I like the openspace with the fields of flowers and I like the Ancient Oak Trail.
The fields were dotted with small flowers:
California Poppy
Buttercup
Johnny-jump-ups (Viola pedunculata)
Tidytips (Layia Platyglossa)
The Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District website has information about the Russian Ridge.
