Valley Oaks in a Time of Renewal
Bedecked in Mistletoe old and new, maintaining its own leaf cover, a twisted Valley Oak (Quercus lobata) welcomes the sunlight. New green grass begins to carpet Road F, which twists past another Valley Oak toward a lone Valley Oak on the ridge beyond. Morning at Jasper Ridge, as the world renews itself after the first rains. 11/11/2021, 7:46 am.
