After my unfortunate encounter with poison oak last month, I haven’t been out on the trails while I recovered. I decided to head out this morning to Foothills Park via the Alexis Drive entrance, the appeal being that I didn’t have to pay to enter the park.
The day started out with low clouds that burned off during my walk, and I finished under a bright blue sky.
It was overcast at the start but some sun was breaking through in the distance I passed a couple of bucks, who were waiting for me to leave so they would continue wooing the does on the other side of the trailA cormorant hanging out on the dock at Boronda LakeThe still morning waters of Boronda LakeThe clouds have burned off over Wildhorse Valley By this point, it was warm enough that I could strip down to short sleevesSome red berries basking in the sunAn overlook with Los Trancos Road down belowSome small purple wildflowers The trail  wound its way through this stand of treesOne of the the view markers on Vista Hill.
