LAMORINDA, CA — As we welcome the fall season, we thought it was a good time to share this flashback to springtime in Lamorinda. That is when Patch reader Arleen Thomas captured this photo — it was 5 p.m. May 23 to be exact — while hiking a trail in the Wilder area of Orinda.

" ... Where the hiking trails are now very narrow due to the high grass and weeds," Arleen wrote in an email to Patch. "What an absolutely beautiful day to hike the hills! The mustard is growing like crazy!"

Thanks so much for sharing, Arleen.
