All the years I’ve lived in Vacaville and it never looks like this 😂

Me as a r/g color blind person- "oh I bet those trees are red huh"

Love it. when I was a kid and we would drive to the Bay area from Oregon for family Christmases, Vacaville was the marker that were were almost there. I don't know how many lunches I ate at the old Nut Tree.

Posting this is irresponsible. A women died in October trying to get to the bottom of this waterfall. The trail down is closed to the public, and yet this photographer definitely used it to take this picture. Do better.

It actually is milk thistle. https://www.calflora.org/app/taxon?crn=7622.

Looks like the Shire

Hobbiton!

My guide told me ash. But apparently the dirt is so ashy there’s really no difference.

Browns Valley?

This is breathtaking

Photos like these make me instinctually stop and take a deep breath. The sky, the colors, the clear water. It looks cool, crisp, and peaceful. Thank you.

That's Star Thistle, an invasive species that has now covered the state. It's got nasty thorns. But you can pull it up easily by the base. But when you have a field of it, you just get to look at it.

The flowers are a little bit pretty. Amazing how someone made it a work of art.

Is this near Corvara?

I see you’ve located Superman’s Fortress of Solitude.

Wouldn’t this violate the subreddit rules? Or, are alien structures not a violation? 😁

That's a good way of looking at it, thanks!

The title got me to upvote 😊 beautiful

I'm surprised too! But I lived in Dixon as a teen, and once you get away from the sheepshaggers and strip malls the foothills are actually quite nice.

The other good news is you've found a beautiful vista as a consequence.

Plenty of people will shoot the sunset from the summit. It's almost too obvious.

You've taken a worthy photo of your hike and one that's more unique.

Those, plus all of the star thistle, made running cross country in high school a bloody nightmare (literally sometimes)

Emphasis on days before everything turns brown lol. To be fair, the golden hills can be just as pretty.
