Sierra Snow Skywatch Friday

It snowed all week!

Finally, on Saturday the last storm had blown through...

Blue sky peeked through the broken black and white clouds.

The trees were plastered with powdery snow.

Tilden Park, Berkeley, California

November 28, 2009

I thought it was about time that I actually post some pictures from an actual hike on Hikepix...

On the Saturday after Thanksgiving we went to Tilden Park on a family outing. It was a glorious, windy day. The skies were deep blue, not a cloud in the sky. The views were crystal clear. We visited the "Little Farm", went on a hike up to the top of Wildcat Peak, and took a ride on the steam train. It was a wonderful, relaxing, enjoyable day!

The tall eucalyptus trees were swaying in the wind.

Snow in San Ramon!

Well, OK, snow in the hills around San Ramon.

Still, for us here in California this is COLD weather!

Skywatch Friday, dark skies

Last Friday we finally had a little weather in San Ramon. The skies got darker and darker and then we had a little rain. A welcome change from the routine, cloudless blue skies of Autumn...
