From the right: Road F leads toward a valley oak (Quercus lobata), covered in mistletoe. Dry hills, topped with oaks, with some coyte brush colonizing the grassland. Another valley oak with mistletoe, this one with no leaves on either oak or parasite, just holding its place on the ridge -- I call this the "Phainopepla Tree." Thistle crowds its base. Fog on Skyline hides Windy Hill. 7:51 am. iPhone panorama.
