Creeks Through the Seasons
Volume 2: Winter Solstice 2008
O, Happy Winter! The days are getting longer!
Welcome back as we continue our examination of our local creeks through the seasons! As you recall from Volume 1, we are following four urban creeks through the year. Since the Autumnal Equinox, we've had about three moderate rains, totaling about 4 1/2 inches or so down here by the coast. Mountain totals are around 6-7 inches.
I was not able to get to Rattlesnake Canyon around the Solstice, but I took some pictures of the creek on my November 19 hike, and I post those here. I hope to get up there next weekend. If I do, I will post an amendment. I want to see how the meadow looks!
Here are how the Creeks look now.

Any froggie noises around the creeks? Where's the meadow? We want to see it all greened up. Flowers in it would be nice, too.
