Another image from last week’s morning hike through one of my favorite trails. Â The light was wonderful, brightening spots here and there, filtering colors above into greens and golds.

In the Canyon
This was taken a few weeks ago while out on a hike through the local backcountry. Â Spring is fading away, and wildfires are already beginning to rear their flames. Â The plants here are more lush than they have been in some time – we had a bit of rain!

Riparian Spring
A riparian zone or area is the interface between land and a river or stream, per Wikipedia. Â In California, it is a woodland which is rich in biodiversity, with trees, shrubs, and ferns, along with an abundance of wildlife, such as birds, squirrel, and deer. Â The creeks they are near sometimes run dry in the summer. Â The woodlands are a cool retreat from hot summers, but can be burned to a crisp in a severe wildfire. Â For me, they are a bit of heaven – a space away from the subdivisions and roads of settled California.
