Hidden Villa, a farm and wilderness preserve in Los Altos Hills, is a gem. A small but superb network of single track trails travels through a variety of environments: lushly forested canyons with cascading streams, meadows carpeted with wildflowers, and chaparral tunnels. The farm has an assortment of animals, including goats and pigs, a vegetable garden, and a flower garden. I did a trail run through many of the trails in the park during the evening when soft sunlight allowed for great wildflower photography. Here are some photos of the various species of wildflowers in the meadows. I am not very familiar with California wildflowers so I don’t know the name of some.
In the coming days look for photos of the farm and forest at Hidden Villa.
See more flowers after the jump!

Hi – love your photos of the flowers here at HV!
Could I have permission to use one of the images on our website to accompany the calendar description for a wildflower hike we are holding on May 7?
I would give photo credit in the description!
Thank you,
Maggie
