Long Ridge Open Space Preserve

On Saturday D. and I went to Long Ridge Open Space Preserve and walked part of the Peters Creek Trail, and I took some pics before I got too tired and we had to come home.

Grassland habitat.



Star thistles are very owie to the touch.



Grassy hillsides and contraily skies.



The Peters Creek Trail goes through a woodland habitat.



A skipper butterfly sips nectar at a thistle.



We pass by remnants of an abandoned orchard, probably planted when this was private ranch land.





We see a pool in Peters Creek, full of fallen leaves and water striders.





A fallen bigleaf maple leaf is an emblem of autumn.
