Yesterday morning in Mountain View and Woodside was gorgeous. I drove by the Stanford hills though and noticed that they are still dun with only a little green in the folds of the hills. The mustard by 280 was vibrant though.
When the afternoon clouded over i spent the time reading up on wildflower sites near the Bay Area and found your blog. I’m sad to see that Death Valley is expecting less bloom: i suspect that will be a common experience across the state.
