And, I love my job, I miss my friends and family, and I have started to explore my new home. Oh, and I can get a few places without the assistance of GPS.
Today, I participated in a MeetUp group loosely affiliated with the Santa Clara Open Space Authority. We explored a recently purchased property for the Authority in Coyote Valley. It was a beautiful sunny day with just the right about of wind to keep us cool while we walked.
I learned a few things today:
- The official California state rock is serpentine.
- There are Juniper’s growing in the hills here that doesn’t really belong.
- Cow pies really smell!
- Cows don’t have blue eyes, contrary to David’s belief.
- Coyote Valley has some of the country’s oldest oak trees.
Here’s a few of my favorite photos from today. You can see them all in my Flickr stream.
