G is for Golden

This is a common sight around Hollister and throughout San Benito County, come summer time. Would you say the hills are brown or golden?

Golden? Ah, you're a true Californian.

Someone once told me that he knows when strangers are Californians at heart. They get a blissful sound in their voice as they describe the golden hills of their home.

E is for Everywhere

The five palm trees. I can see them from almost everywhere in downtown Hollister.  One of these days, I'm going to find out who planted them and whether there was a reason for planting them. After all, palm trees aren't native to the area. Here's another view of the five palm trees.

D is for the Diablo Range

The Diablo Range flanks the east side of Hollister. For that matter, it runs through all of San Benito County. The mountain range starts up in the San Francisco Bay Area and 'flows" down to the northern part of Kern County.
