The phrase “the mighty oak” comes to mind and rightly so. I am not sure what there is about these oaks in Contra Costa County but it’s like they each have a personality of their own. Each one is unique with what seems like a long story to tell. If only we could speak their language we would hear stories of the times before the white man and when the skies were black with flocks of birds. It’s a pitty to think of them living so long and yet in our life time they could be gone either from construction or sudden oak death syndrome. At lease we can enjoy them for now. My tribute to a couple below.
Majestic trees and great skies…
Last one offers a unique perspective!
These are all lovely, Eloine. I too find the last one very intriguing, and it’s my favorite!
Glorious trees!
They sure are great trees. Those amazing skies really add to them!
