Green Poway

Most of the year, the hills around us have been singed by the searing sun and the dry winds from the desert, and they are golden and brown. Even the bit of green that's left is a dark, dusty, deep green, giving little hint that green exists in this landscape. The winter and spring rains, when we receive them, change everything for a short while, and the green takes my breath away.
From our house, we get only small glimpses of the rolling green hills; but when we're driving through the neighborhood, or walking a nearby trail, these wonderful views pop into our sights as we go up and down the hills. Lauren took this picture from a nearby trail one evening as he was taking his daily walk. It's a picture I had meant to take many times but had never paused long enough to do. I'm so glad he took it.
Just so we can remember, here it is. Poway is beautiful this time of year!
