Mouth of San Emigdio Canyon from the campground at Wind Wolves.

ahab said...: Nice to see that green coming in. Is this one of those coastal CA landscapes that goes all golden in summer and afterward?; March 17, 2011 at 1:47 PM
Tom Hilton said...: This is inland, but yes, it'll turn golden in a month or so and stay that way until next winter.; March 17, 2011 at 1:52 PM
ahab said...: That's the only way I've ever seen those regions, all rolling smooth and golden. From 5-10,000 feet the color and the texture are exquisite. I'd love to get out there and explore sometime at ground level.; March 17, 2011 at 3:50 PM

I love that we get the emerald green in the winter; I just wish it would last a little longer.

Great capture, Tom.; March 17, 2011 at 7:10 PM
Tom Hilton said...: Thanks! And with all this infernal rain, I'm afraid it will stay green a while longer.

By the way, the Camino Viejo in the title (which came down San Emigdio Canyon) was the first route between the Los Angeles area and inland California--in use by native Americans long before the Spaniards, and by the Spaniards beginning in the late 18th century.; March 18, 2011 at 8:16 AM
