Sobrante Ridge Regional Botanic Preserve, on the site of a former cattle ranch, occupies a space more or less surrounded by the suburban East Bay community of El Sobrante. I wonder how many El Sobranteans are aware that this preserve houses a beautiful rare and endangered manzanita, only found in one other location.

I’ve completed a brief survey of Bay Area plant communities over at Frisco Vista.
The Bay Area topic suits me because I’ve accumulated a bunch of photos from around the bay over the years.

Over at Frisco Vista a new page of basic information on the Asian Art Museum of San Francisco has gone up.
Is it better than the museum’s own sprawling site? (More concise, certainly.) How about the Wikipedia page on the Asian Art Museum?

Are the San Francisco travel guide books dissing Asia?
That’s what Frisco Vista says.

What’s making the sea lions cranky? Frisco Vista, a new site devoted to San Francisco travel (what they’re building is so new they’re still working on the foundation) is asking that question.
