happy day hiking

Here are some slightly delayed pics from my annual birthday hike--
(or at least whenever weather in February allows). It was a perfectly lovely day, and as we do, we counted the early wildflowers in bloom-- 20!
We hiked inland from the coast at Shell Beach (just south of Jenner) towards Pomo Canyon;
Afterwards, a much appreciated meal & a pint at the Hopmonk Tavern in Sebastopol with my sweetie.




As you may know, we've had an unseasonably dry (warm, beautiful) winter; so we're happy to be seeing rain again today. (if you click on the photos, they will enlarge.)

(and Thank you for your Birthday wishes!)
