Anticipation is Half the Fun: Spring Hasn't Yet Sprung at Lake Chabot

The sunny interlude between storms on Thursday offered a pre-spring look at a landscape that will soon be at its seasonal best.

Spots of color are still sparse at Lake Chabot, proving that spring has not yet sprung. I took a walk on Thursday afternoon and snapped these photos with my iPhone.

Think of them as "before" pictures.

In coming weeks on Castro Valley Patch, we'll feature a gardening column by Barbara Wilcox about emerging plants you can look forward to seeing soon and, later on, a photo gallery by AJ Flores showing the lake's landscape at its finest.
