September Morning, Los Cerritos Pond. Calero Hills, California. September 2, 2007. © Copyright G Dan Mitchell.

This spot is one that I hike past frequently on my visits to the Calero Park in south Santa Clara County. The tree sits next to an overlook above a small pond nestled in the grassy hills of this park. This photograph captures the golden browns of late summer, the form of the oak tree, and the shadow of the rustic fence.
