Different Oaks for Different Folks
A panorama of different Oaks viewed from the grassland. A Valley Oak (Quercus lobata) is in the foreground at left, draped with Mistletoe and with some red-berried Toyon (Heteromeles arbitufolia) nearby. A single-aged stand of leafless Blue Oaks (Quercus douglasii) is in the distance, fading into a stand of dark-green Coast Live Oaks (Quercus agrifolia) on the far right. The green spring grass shows through the old grass around the rocks in the foreground.
