California summer leaves

Fall in Cali

For those who think California has only one season, I offer exhibit A: fallen leafs. I went for a 6 mile hike in Alum Rock Park this weekend.

I cannot express how great it is to have a nice hike so close to home.

Sempervirens Falls, Big Basin

Sempervirens falls is a beautiful 17-foot waterfall in Big Basin State Park.

The fact that waterfall recieves secondary attention gives you an idea of how spectacular the trees are.

Then again, a 17-foot waterfall doesn't stand much chance against a 300-foot tree, does it?
