Santa Teresa Loops

With a break from the rain, our Monday hiking group was raring to go on a moderately long hike (about 6.5 miles). Steep bits interrupted our conversation from time to time. [Talk or breathe: pick one.]

Chilly temperatures meant the poppies mostly kept their petals curled up tight.
I've often gazed down at these trails when I bike up Bernal; today I cast my eyes upward for a glimpse of IBM's Research Lab.
We carefully picked our way through the muddiest sections; at one point I followed another's lead onto a short bypass. [Is this a trail or a a stream?] Trails are closed to mountain bikers and equestrians, but hikers are lighter on the land. Lucky for us!

More stormy weather ahead ...
