Calero Reservoir County Park Day Hiking
<Japanese version is after English:日本語は英語の後にあります>
Mr.N, Ms.H and I went day hiking in Calero Reservoir Country Park in April. We saw sooooo many pretty wild flowers.
Calero Park is in the South Bay, California. It is actually in the city of San Jose. It was relatively close where I lived, but I had never been there. I didn't know that Calero park is such a lovely place.
Please look at these colorful flowers (pictures below).
First row (left to right), Periwinkle flower, I don't know the name for the right one
Second row (left to right), California puppies+Vetch, Blue Eyed Grass
Third row (left to right), Buttercups, Scarlet Pimpernel flower
Fourth row, Checker Mallow flower
It is really a joy to hike around these wild flowers in the spring. Mr.N's aunt Ms.H used to live in San Jose, so three of us would hike once a month in the Bay Area. We never ran out of places to hike.
Usually we would go to Ms.H's house, then go hiking. Usually Ms.H's husband Mr.A made us sandwich, which is delicious, although he doesn't come with us. Then after hiking we stop by Ms.H's house and ate dinner made by Mr.A. There is a cat, Ms.S, at Ms.H and Mr.A's house. Ms.S is scared of humans, including Mr.A, so I couldn't pet her, but it was nice to see Ms.S.
Now I am in New England and also Mr.H and Mr.A moved out from South Bay, but our hikes are so memorable and unforgettable.
Pretty green hills
deer
At Calero, not only wild flower, we also saw pretty green hills.
Lastly, we found cute deer focused on eating. When we hike with Ms.H, we often see cute animals.
Ms.H has seen fox babies, sat close with the same specific bobcat for 20 minute, twice. Ms.H must have something secret communicating way with animals.
