Rancho San Vicente August 2013 |
An old ranch road leads to a unique area within the park. |
The area is accented with large, lichen-encrusted boulders. |
Lichen form a symbiotic relationship between a fungus and algae. |
A line of lush vegetation marks a hillside indicating the presense of a spring. |
Trees, shrubs, plants thrive in this area. |
A small seep pond fed by a spring. |
A natural spring emanates from amid these rocks. |
Abundant acorns crowd the tough, tangled branches of a scrub oak. |
The area is host to a wide variety of native trees and shrubs. |
Road loops back to main ranch road through park. |
