Oak Grove, Javelina Trail. Calero Park, California. November 25, 2006. © Copyright G Dan Mitchell. (Sales)

The story: I love the open oak grasslands of central California, especially in winter when the grasses go dormant and the light filters through the leafless trees. I was on the return leg of a loop hike at Calero County Park when I came upon this section of the trail is it climbed around a curve and into this grove of oaks.
