On this April afternoon I was very impressed by the dramatic storm clouds blowing by, and I went off in search of a pretty location to photograph under them. I arrived at the High Meadow in Rancho San Antonio Open Space Preserve just in time to photograph this grove of old oak trees before the shadow of the hill in back of me reached them. The 3,800 acre Rancho San Antonio is located in the foothills of the Santa Cruz Mountains by the town of Los Altos Hills, CA. In the distance is the Santa Clara Valley and Diablo Mountain Range.
