Valley of the Heart's Delight ~ Friday, March 09, 2018

This was a nickname for the Santa Clara Valley 100 years ago, when it was full of orchards, and the interurban Peninsular Ry ran "blossom specials" in the spring.

There are still a few bits left, like this one next to the VTA light rail line. A few weeks ago when it rained, a bunch of yellow flowers came up, but I saw no sign of life from the trees. But it looks like at least a few are still going and were just waiting for later spring.

This plot of land is behind a Symantec office. 20 years ago, this was where Netscape was. But in Silicon Valley, even 20 years ago is ancient history!
