Briones Reservoir
April 6, 2008




The Sunday starts out gloomy, but we ignore the forces of nature and head out for a 10 mile hike around Briones Reservoir.




Heading clockwise, we soon get to the dam on the west side




watch the birdie




California poppies and rolling green hills...all in a mist.




they open in sunshine




Imola, Christof, Jane, Sandrine




...and me.




old wooden fencing




shortcut




the best season, everything is lush and green




...except for last year's thistel.




pic-nic stop




with a view









The sun is out, and they have opened.
















one last view, right before we complete our circle




Next stop is Chirstof's and Imola's place in Orinda, where the bear is always cold and the grill is always hot.









Life is good.




The new iPhone...




Sindrine's captured this shoot. Great quality for a pocket size camera!
