A short but tough climb up Wildcat Mountain leads to lots of old fieldstone fences, little streams, a homestead and some interesting rock formations.
Is it not wonderful to find icy puddles that are not solid, but have a bit of hollow white in them, so you know that you can crush them, and gleefully listen to that crushy-ice ice-crushing noise?
Got to hike with good friends, my wonderful mother and my 22-month old son at the beautiful Falls Ridge Preserve in Ellett Valley, Virginia.

Me sitting in a hilltop meadow of wildflowers, happy to receive such a gorgeous reward after the steep climb up McCall Point. Mt. Hood is just visible to the right of my shoulder.

The green green green of the canyon floor is almost virulent compared to the rocky hills surrounding it.

The Pasque (or prairie smoke, prairie crocus, or cutleaf anemone)
I found a photo of a Pasque flower on the website for Altamont Prairie, a site managed by the Nature Conservancy. I've been there before, so I thought I'd take a drive out and see if I could find some.
I walked for close to an hour in a very zig zag pattern, up hills, and through swampy parts, in every different terrain that I could find and I saw nothing. On the final hill on the way back to my car, I FINALLY found one clump of four flowers. They were a little droopy from today's rain, but nonetheless, they made for some great photos!

Viewing Olcott (vernal) Pool, Olcott Lake, Mt Diablo. Administered by UCD & Nature Conservancy. A jewel; off the beaten path. Ten miles away natives do not know of it's existence.
