I just spent a beautiful day hiking the hills of Pleasanton, looking for the Callippe silverspot butterfly's host plant -- a pretty wee viola. The tiny flowers were yellow on green hills and California looks like it has had enough rain for once. I know that I'm lucky that wandering hillsides today is part of my job -- but I have to interject that those hills were ridiculously steep, there was not really an option not to hike them, and my route was, well, circuitous. See above.

I know. Still pretty sweet.
