    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!

    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 🙂
