Wildflowers in the hills

/

Dan and I went for a hike today not too far from here. The loop is about 4.5-5 miles with spectacular views.DSC_0093It's been dry this spring, and the greenery won't last long, but there are a lot of wild flowers right now.DSC_0027 Also a lot (A LOT) of poison oak.DSC_0014 I love the effect of my new lens with the shallow depth of field, but it's sometimes hard to work with, especially when I'm trying to snap photos quickly.
