elf1 > This oak tree was interesting for having so much visible mistletoe and the tree being in a location where it could be photographed in its entirety in this lovely hillside meadow.
elf1 > Interesting texture and color contrast between this lichen and the red bark of this Manzanita.
elf1 > This is the Cardamine californica, commonly called the Milkmaid because its flower resembles the traditional cap of a milkmaid. At other times of the year, lurks in every nook and cranny of the park. (Its leaves are the smaller three-part leaves just below the flowers.)
elf1 > The park has some nice views--much of which is still more of the park, which has been expanding greatly over time with the addition of more open space by the purchase of old ranches.
elf1 > An interesting fungus. Not sure what it is. I recall that it was about 8" tall, but I could be misremembering. It might be some kind of chanterelle?
elf1 > Steph, covered for protection against sun and early morning chill, gets that telephoto lens working on her new camera.
elf1 > More red manzanita bark.
elf1 > Stark naked white winter tree branches always look beautiful to me. I always try taking photos. They always turn out looking like a bunch of boring wood. Something I'm not figuring out, photography-wise. These are, I believe, buckeye branches.
elf1 > Starting out on our hike, we passed the usual "No Dogs" "No Amphibious Assault Craft" sort of signs, but we were greatly puzzled by this "No Diving" sign at the beginning of a path that works its way up this creek bed. The creek was about 2 inches deep. In the middle of the photo, you can just see the railings for a small bridge across the creek, which sits about 2 feet above ground level. We weren't sure where atop this mountain park we'd WANT to go diving. Note to self--ask ranger next time.
