It is idyllic country side with rolling green hills, oaks and wild flowers.
What would a rural setting be without a windmill.
In the afternoon we walked along the old Pinnacles trail. This trail goes thorough a canyon with a creek flowing through. A nice riparian habitat.
The flowers were the ones you would expect in this kind of environment.
They say the fiesta flower got its common name because women would use it decorate their party dresses.
I spotted this hanging garden on the way back. We didn't go as far as we had intended. Since it was labeled as an easy hike with little elevation gain we didn't ware boots. We hadn't thought about the fact that a trail along a stream is bound to have many stream crossings.

I didn't know that there are buttercups that look different to the ones I'm used to :D
Love those windmills!
And the pic of the lonely tree is gorgeous!
