At last weekend’s Women’s Retreat held by St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church near the City of San Juan Bautista in California, we admired spectacular oaks, cactus, and chickens. I think the trees were California Black Oak (Quercus kelloggii), the cactus were prickly pears (Opuntia), but I have no idea what kind of chickens we saw wandering around the little town.

Thats most likely a Valley Oak, Quercus Lobata.
Black Oak is typically seen from 200-2400 Meters.
I have one that is huge. It’s diameter is almost 5′.
It’s pretty sad seeing so many people depart Sun.
