Afternoon hike on the Loma Alta Fireroad

Hope you are enjoying your weekend. Saturday started with lots of backyard hang-time and much needed relaxing. A short afternoon drive found us here...the base of Big Rock Ridge.
Greeted by new wildflowers, we followed the Loma Alta Fireroad.
This year is not predicted to be a big wildflower season here, but it's early yet...
Patches of serpentine rich soil, as found on Ring Mountain Open Space, makes for a variety of interesting blooms.
California poppies.
Cooling off in the breezes.
San Pablo Bay in the distance.
Ahhhhh.

A fog band teased us.

Big Rock Ranch.


So glad we made this hike....there was more trail to explore, more uphill....

For another day :)
See you again soon pals.
