About Me
I am home to several rock-types; sandstone(graywacke), shale, greenstone, chert, quartz, tourmaline, and the green serpentine, which is the state rock of California. I am also a host to a number of plants; more than 750 species, including both the Coast Redwood and the delicate Calypso Orchid, Oak, Chaparral, Douglas Fir and California Laurel Tan Oak. My hillsides are sprinkled with California poppies, many species of lupine, all shades of Douglas iris, blue-eyed grass, goldfields, shooting stars, spotted coral root, fetid adder's tongue, Pacific trillium. I am also home to many animals; raccoons, gray foxes, squirrels, bobcats, coyotes, mountain lions, and black-tailed deer. Red-tailed hawks, turkey vultures, great horned, spotted, barn and screech owls, woodpeckers, steller's jays and black ravens. Many of you have visited my ridge for a ritual sunset session, just want to get the word out.
