In the Valley of the Moon, Trip 18

Leave a Comment

We often think of winter as desolate and empty, but Nature Rhythms’ winter walk in Trione-Annadel State Park (aka Annadel State Park) felt anything but that. Instead, it felt ripe with a different kind of beauty than what stirs us in the springtime. You could more easily see moss-covered limbs or distinct designs on tree…

Just Plain Beauty, Trip 13

Leave a Comment

  On a recent hike through Bear Creek Redwoods Open Space Preserve in Santa Clara County, I found a sanctuary of mixed forest a mile from Highway 17. The beautiful preserve includes a natural lake (more of a pond) that was altered by former residents to serve as a water source for the land. Here…

Take the alluring but poisonous Wake Robin,…

Moss covered the bay trees 360 degrees. And the lovely tri-petal white blossoms of a few trillium have now opened. On the Chown…

Acorn Rain in the Redwoods

Leave a Comment

The height and stature of the old growth in Big Basin Redwoods State Park astound you as soon as you arrive. When my friend and I began hiking recently, we heard various rustling sounds every few steps. We looked around expecting to find some hungry squirrels racing through the leaves eating nuts off the trees…
