Sierra Vista Open Space Preserve
Here are some pics from a visit to Sierra Vista Open Space Preserve on Monday.
The view from the start of the Sierra Vista Trail.
California poppies.
A boulder covered in colorful lichen.
Many cattle graze here.
The trail winds toward a scenic overlook.
A horned lark, whose little "horns" are not always visible.
The view north from the scenic overlook.
Blue dicks is a pretty native wildflower with a peculiar name.
Looking back toward the scenic overlook hill.
A few reptiles are catching some sun next to the trail -- a Western fence lizard and a Pacific gopher snake.
Due to the drought there aren't that many wildflowers on the hillsides.
Looking southwest from the parking lot, before heading home.
