Simple Pleasures

Among our county’s 72 parks we have our favorites, but we constantly try to expand our repertoire. Last summer we saw a sign for Crane Creek Regonal Park and drove down a long road among vineyards and large hillside homes. Crane Creek Regional Park features rolling grasslands and beautiful oaks east of Rohnert Park. The 128-acre park has 3.5 miles of trails and an 18-hole disc golf course. Crane Creek flows through the middle of the park. Ridges offer sweeping views of the countryside

Only one other car was in the lot. It was a warm summer day; we walked seeking shade and picked blackberries. There was little water in the creek.

So today we returned. Only one free parking spot. It was a spectacular day; the parklands were wet from our constant rains. We had heard that meadows werecovered with wildflowers in spring. Too early; we’ll return in the next few weeks. We hiked around and watched foresterbob Young people playing disc golf while we had a picnic lunch.

Hey, we want that table.

There are golfers right behind those cows

Surrounded by vineyards, freshly pruned.

We just got back, so wrote this in haste. Let it be an open thread.
