I spent 24 years living in the Bay Area. The green season is always so brief. I knew it would be a bit better this year... but still, enjoy it when you can. The golden hills have their own beauty... but this is beautiful, and rare.
We spent lazy summers on Lake Del Valle with our yacht " Sevylor canoe" back in the late 60' early 70's. Great place to fly over en-route to Tracy, Stockton, and of course Columbia. Thanks for the green pic.
