I think you’re right about its age. If it’s a valley oak it could be very old - they can live up to 600 years. I was surprised to see that it’s the largest North American oak species.
2 years agoWell, a few at least. You deserve credit for your enthusiasm if for no other reason.
2 years agoSo I don’t get any points? Waaaah
2 years agoOh, the tree! No, I meant the yellow wildflowers of course.
2 years agoWow! That's amazing.
If you lived nearby I would want to take you some cookies in exchange for a peek at your collection!
I think they are Monterey cypress also but Kathleen beat me as I pondered the previous plants which I don't know. These are real beauties.
2 years agoPossibly even better than the Palouse! More natural and with those oaks! What a great road and what great shots, Scott.
2 years agoRight! No need for Bill on this one.
2 years agoA road like this makes me want to know what's the view at the top.
2 years agoI love oaks. This one is no doubt quite old, older than anyone thinks, probably. Beautiful photo.
2 years agoOo! Ooo! I know! I know! Monterey cypress!
2 years agoI want to go to there.
2 years agoI do have thousands of brachiopod, coral and crinoid fossils as well as lots of other things, mostly from TN, KY, IN, OH and IL. Literally hundreds of pounds. Some have general locations, and others nothing. Memory is fading fast. At the time I collected most of them, I could have easily returned to the exact spot in whatever road cut or vacant lot I found them.
2 years agoYou definitely should bicycle here. It’s so nice to have such fabulous scenery and no cars!

Some sort of larkspur?
