Neighbor Donna has taken note of a seasonal flora transformation on Bernal Hill:

Passersby may not notice these small, low-lying plants that grow on the north side and on the top of Bernal hill. These are footsteps-of-spring, some of the earliest spring flowers. They have been popping up in more locations, but seem to like the rockier spots. Their appearance always make me happy, and their name can tell you why!

NOTE: I also saw a few California Poppies popping up last weekend as well.
