Sunlit Landscape
Grassland, with California sagebrush (Artemesia californica); chaparral in the hollow; oak woodland, dominated by valley oaks (Quercus lobata); willows in the riparian corridor along Corte Madera Creek; and Skyline in the distance. The rising sun has still not fully illuminated the hillside on the left. This image was captured just after I left the valley oak populated by hungry birds, documented in a nearby collection.
