Spring Observations

I've been enjoying all the blossoming trees during my runs up the fire trails in Strawberry Canyon. I have noticed that the lack of rain has resulted in less slugs on the trails, which might be a good thing! Its just been recently that I've noticed an increase in flowering plants besides tree blossoms, so now the ground is covered in color as well! I always compare spring in the Bay to Mt. Shasta and there is such a drastic difference! Up in the mountains we don't get flowering plants until late April or May so to have flowering life all year around is really a treat.
