My Birds are blooming! [California]
"Give fools their gold,
and knaves their power;
let fortune's bubbles rise and fall;
who sows a field,
or trains a flower, or plants a tree,
is more than all."
John Greenleaf Whittier

Novato CA [Olompali Mt]
"Olompali was a high status residence and
permanent hub of the MIWOK community.
The Olompali community or tribelet once
comprised 25 square miles of territory,
and supported a number of
permanent and semi-permanent
villages within this territory."
This area was the most heavily populated
by First Nations [Coast Miwok]
north of the Rio Grande.

And so I learn a
new history,
new names, new
places.
Glad you came along
for the ride!

Those wisps of clouds are such a lovely sight!
Beautiful captures and it's great learning right along with you too!
Amazing sights. Such a sad history in our world of aboriginal peoples being preyed upon.
Jolly!!!!!
Olompoli State Park just north of Novato was formerly a center of the Olompali peoples. And it was also a hippie commune before it became a state park. (I never made it there in either incarnation but drove past it often.)
