What a beautiful place that is! So different from here though, and it makes me yearn for spring.
Wow, I’m jealous, we just don’t have many flowers in Ohio during Januray!
Tom
Wow. What a splendid day! Beautiful pictures. I especially love the view over the bridge. Really invites you in.
amazing day for sure and as always I love all of your photos! Don’t worry, I can never do a wordless wednesday without some kind or words!
Montucky: That’s OK – your photos make me yearn to go skiing/snowshoeing!
Tom: We don’t have many January wildflowers here either, although starting now’ish they will start to pick up, as the hills are all bright green from winter rains.
Winterwoman: Thanks! This is one of my very favorite local hikes – it has everything: dense redwood forest, lakeside hiking, open grassy hills (with tons of wildflowers come spring), and generally excellent birdwatching year-round. All in a 4’ish mile loop that’s practically flat.
Monarch: Thank you 🙂
I love talking walks on others’ blogs.
Thanks for visiting, Nina!
