Spring Wild Flowers - San Francisco Peninsula
Russian Ridge
The display at Russian Ridge is not spectacular as it has been on some years but it is always a pleasure to walk on the trails. Looking east, one can see the Stanford Campus and, beyond that, Moffet Field and the east bay. To the west, the rolling hills, Rapley Ranch and the small pond adjacent to it.

The poppy flowers;
how calmly
They fall.
