Winter Woods

I lived at one time in a house perched on a hill surrounded by oak woods typical of Carmel Valley in California.   I enjoyed watching the trees at close range through the change of seasons.

Old white-oaks are particularly majestic; they look regal even when bare.  Proudly they spread gnarled boughs against the open sky, as if to give a benediction to the world around.
