Today’s Thursday picture was taken almost one year ago today at Skyline Ridge Open Space Preserve in the Santa Cruz Mountains west of San Jose/Silicon Valley.

As you can see, it was a nice, rainy day.  I was able to keep my faithful Nikon D40 fairly dry throughout this entire hike.  I was also able to get some nice shots along the trail in the rainy weather.

I like hiking in the rain…as long as it does not get too windy.  What about you?

We could use some more rainy days here in drought-stricken California.

Where are you hiking this weekend?

If you’re looking for me, I’m over the hill.
