Wildflowers hunting

After weeks of staying at home - don't want to do anything - period, I finally get to go out on a hike again. I wasn't planning to take anyone, so I pick the shortest and closest trail - Stile Ranch Trail. It is located right at the end of Almaden Expressway.

Trail is short -less than 3 miles but it was very pretty. We came in the right time of the year where lots of wildflower is in bloom. The first miles we literally walk in between thousands of blooming poppies (see pic above). We picked up a wildflower guide at the beginning of the trail and excitedly identified a lot of them during our hike.

Tidy tips

I took more pictures of the other flowers but they are not very presentable :P

Hope you have a cheerful spring season!
