About Saratoga's Fremont Older

I go hiking all the time, up in the open space above my house. I decided to take a lesser traveled path last week, and came across several wild iris's (spelling??? hmm...). And check this one out!

I was looking around as I was hiking and caught this rabbit just hanging out on the side of the path. I think this was the only time I found a rabbit cute... I have several that live in my yard, and eat everything I try to plant... So it is a love/hate relationship right now. :)

Summer is coming, and I can't wait! I hope everyone is having a great Wednesday!

While hiking this weekend, I was stopped listening and watching wildlife... I usually look up for birds, out for larger animals and listen for any noises...

I rarely look below my feet...

When looking down, I happened to see this cute little guy looking up at me... When I got closer, he moved to a different hole, and watched me... It was kinda funny.

I hope everyone has a great Sunday!

Caddyshack anyone?

So I went hiking in my backyard again... This time I went to where a trailhead is, instead of just crossing the field and up the hill from the front yard. I came across this sign. I am not sure if I had seen it before, so I snapped a picture.

I live in Saratoga, CA. I was hiking in the hills directly above Saratoga/Cupertino. It was an amazing day, and weather was awesome! I was hiking in a short sleeve shirt.

As you can see from the shadows in the pictures, this was later in the day. An after dinner hike.

I hope everyone has an awesome Wednesday!

Wordless Wednesday - Blackberries! Ready to be picked.

Walking down the driveway where I live grows patches of wild blackberries, ready to be picked! I headed down this last weekend and found a few that were ready to plucked, piled in a basket and ready for me to enjoy them...

After I picked them, most were ready to eat but some were a bit too sour. So I am headed back down next weekend to grab some more. (had to dodge a few spiders, lol!!!)

These bushes grow wild in the Fremont Older Open Space Preserve.

I hope everyone has a great start to a great Wednesday!
