In the foothills of the coastal range, gathering runoff from winter rains, spring-fed streams rise high on the ridge and drain to this vernal South Bay pond, a refuge for flora and fauna through the dry seasons to come. Hillsides present a patchwork of color as green transitions to gold on south-facing slopes. Glints of late morning sunshine reflect from the wind-rippled surface.
