I am a couple days late with this one, but I have also been in the San Francisco Bay area for a week. I was in San Jose visiting my friend Kathy for a bit and now am with family friends in San Francisco. On Saturday, Kathy and I went to Big Sur for a hike and found these lovely leaves. She was not that impressed, but I was because we don’t have trees like the ones in Big Sur on the East Coast . . . or at least nowhere I have been. Below is a photo of Kathy with one of the larger leaves that we found.
