A very good book year, with 51 books read and 17 each that I gave five or four stars. Some truly great books!

Fog on foothills of Mt. Diablo in northern California. We have been experiencing "Tule fog," that spreads from miles away in the Central Valley, for weeks now and look forward to the sun shining again. #fog #nature #naturephotography #photography #tulefog

For a very late #forestFriday, here is the forest floor now that it has rained in northern California. Most of the plants are invasive but there is one native, a Pacific Snakeroot (the darker leafed plant in the center-left). #forestfloor #nativeplants #nature #naturephotography #photography

For #nationaltakeahikeday I hiked Pine Canyon in a local regional park, northern California. A bit muddy from the recent rains, but now bursting with tiny green shoots. Unlike everywhere else, our plant life awakes in the winter. #nature #naturephotography #forest #trees #nativeplants

We took my grandson to the park, where he found the motherlode of poofy dandelions and wanted to pick then blow on them all.
