Caitlin visited on her spring break; Saul joined us for a nice hike
in monte bello open space preserve |
|
some
of these flowers on the side of the trail looked interesting |

were very small and so vibrantly orange |

 |
 |
 |

we
hiked up to the summit of black mountain, where we had great views on
all sides |
