I saw this and thought, "Teletubbies". Just shoot me now.

Not sure why I thought of teletubbies when I saw this

Emphasis on days before everything turns brown lol. To be fair, the golden hills can be just as pretty.

Those, plus all of the star thistle, made running cross country in high school a bloody nightmare (literally sometimes)

I'm surprised too! But I lived in Dixon as a teen, and once you get away from the sheepshaggers and strip malls the foothills are actually quite nice.

That's Star Thistle, an invasive species that has now covered the state. It's got nasty thorns. But you can pull it up easily by the base. But when you have a field of it, you just get to look at it.
The flowers are a little bit pretty. Amazing how someone made it a work of art.

All the years I’ve lived in Vacaville and it never looks like this 😂

Agreed. Rockville park has some great short trails. A lot of mountain bikes use the trails now though.

Vacaville is the home of the strip mall with all the outlet malls and big-box stores…

Interesting fact: that background is taken from somewhere close(ish) to Vacaville, I can't remember if it's on the way to Napa or Roseville
