View from Matadero Creek Trail, Palo Alto, CA

I sit at the computer too much— writing haikus every day inspired by music, films, poetry, and interesting readings. My friends have tried to get me away from the computers and explore nature more. Here are some hikes from 2013 in the Bay Area, many taken when Foothill Computer Labs were closed. Registered for Thomas McCarthy's Day Hike Class (PHED 23B) at Foothill College that meets on Fridays (1 pm-4 pm). Here are the photographs taken on all these excursions. (Peter Y.
