Ridge in Springtime
A classic view from Road F. The green grass is just starting to push through the golden. Light-green valley oaks (Quercus lobata) are at the top of the ridge, in the center (note the browse lines from the deer), flanked by darker coast live oak (Quercus agrifolia var. agrifolia). Coyote brush (Baccharis pilularis) is invading the grassland. 8 am, 4/22/2013.
