LAMORINDA, CA — Patch reader Arleen Thomas submitted this lovely photo she took in November 2o22 at Mulholland Ridge Open Space in Moraga.

"It was taken in the afternoon when the colors seemed to 'pop,'" Arleen wrote in an email to Patch. "Mt. Diablo majestically stood in the background while California poppies swayed lazily in the breeze. My husband Greg and I were enjoying our hike and the magnificent views from this ridge, appreciating our time alone together before it got crazy for the Thanksgiving festivities!"

Thanks so much for sharing, Arleen!
