Welcome to my blog about our family's appreciation for everything related to nature and the outdoors. We live in a small community just east of San Francisco Bay, between the Oakland hills and the foot of Mt. Diablo. We live in a wonderful area of California, with great access to open space and trails. We don't always get outdoors as much as we'd like, but we try to find small opportunities to appreciate nature whenever we can, even if it's just by spending time on our front deck, watching for neighborhood wildlife.
My husband and I have a wonderful and lively daughter (AJ, currently 18 months) and two big, enthusiastic dogs (Madison and Reuss). We all love to get outside and observe the world around us. We enjoy learning about everything from rivers to wildflowers and from weather to rocks. I hope you enjoy photos and tales from our everyday encounters with the natural world, and I look forward to your comments.
