...The curley Bright red bark of Manzanitas and Madrones:













This is also a Madrone - an exposed root - looks like it's wearing blue jeans but tripped & scraped its knee:

my fav is the rotting apples but given better light & a greater depth of field the oak gall would be better.

Yes, it was too bad the gall was in the shade with a slight breeze and handheld with 100mm macro and I was running to keep up with my group touring a preserve 150 miles away. I guess I put it up here because the memory of running across it was a bit more special than the apples I was shoveling up in my back yard.

I might have another chance at those mazanitas and madrones, though.

I like the apples as well.

I never saw one of those oak gall things before. Pretty cool.
