Saturday: (08/02) Dawn has several garden pots on a fence in the back yard growing herbs and such. She has cages over some of them to keep the squirrels out. This morning, Lou found this bird in one of the cages. It was happy to be released!

Sunday: (08/03) We visited Rancho San Antonio Park. It’s a multi agency park including a Santa Clara County Park, A City of Mountain View run Deer Hollow Farm and a huge chunk of Midpennsula Regional Open Space District land. These hills have a lot of parkland made up of city parks, open space, County parks, and land trust land. Lots of good hiking. Part of the park is an old farm with gardens and animals.

We love visiting the goats. They have a new calf (6 months old). The calf was born at Hidden Villa, just over the hill in Los Altos which we visited a couple of weeks ago. This farm, and the other city farms in the bay area share animals. It probably makes for better breeding.

Of course there were some flowers. The flower above left is all over the park . It’s on a vine that grows in many of the trees. The berries were on some of the trees. Too bad they aren’t edible.

And then there are the quail, lots of them. Even some chicks.
