across the landscape.
Pastures of Heaven January 2004 |

|
|
|
| An afternoon spent wandering in the foothills. | ||
|
||
| Devoid of leaves, tracing the oaks' intricate branching. | ||
|
||
| Reservior water muddy with silt washed down by winter rains. | ||
|
||
| Photographed many times, some trees become old friends. | ||
|
||
| A well-worn trackway through the foothills. | ||
|
||
| Young oaks - like startled deer, seemed to flee before me. | ||
|
|
|
| "If it's slippery and it's green, it's California Serpentine!" | ||
|
||
| Colorful lichens thrive on their serpentine host. | ||
|
||
| Wind-bent
oaks - always seem to be hurrying across the landscape. |
||
|
||
| View south towards Morgan Hill. | ||
|
||
| View of acreage continually threatened by development. | ||
|
||
| View towards distant open space parklands. | ||
|
||
| Mt. Ummunum crowns the distant foothills. | ||
|
||
| Calero Reservior beyond the fence, down the hill & across the road. | ||
| Return to Top. | Go to Early Summer Pastures. | |
