Three Oak Species and Toyon
A Valley Oak (Quercus lobata) in the foreground, bedecked with mistletoe, sheltering a red-leaved toyon at its base. In the background, bare blue oaks (Q. douglasii) give way to green coast live oaks (Q. agrifolia) as one scans from left to right. Serpenting grassllands in the foreground. A favorite view of mine.
