My Grand Backyard


" Dorothy, we're not in Kansas anymore."
But these photos of my latest hike will make you believe this is indeed Kansas. Instead, it is my grand backyard...a hiking trail just 2 miles from my house, the Callippe Preserve Hiking Trail.


This spring has brought rain at just the right time to create these beautiful
golden colored, head high grasses carpeting the hills around Pleasanton.



The yellow flowers are everywhere this year!






Now you can see Callippe Preserve Golf Course in the background. 
It is a tough but beautiful course far from the madding crowds and city traffic.
