Nick Cabell inspired us to hike Coal Mine Ridge with him. Early spring is here! Early spring flowers appear; black oak and poison oak put out new leaves. A dusting of snow is on the East Bay Hills. A male western bluebird flits about. Portola Valley Ranch is a great place to live!

Many images are from my iPhone; a few were taken with my 35mm camera.
