GLIMPSES OF NATURE...

All these images were shot in southern California. Some images were taken about a year ago.

Poison Ivy. 

A Eucalyptus graveyard. Eucalyptus trees are not native to California but were introduced by Australian immigrants during the California Gold Rush in approximately 1850 in hope of developing it as a source of lumber. Many areas of California are removing their Eucalyptus forests because "they compete with native plants and do not support native animals". The trees are also extremely flammable due to their natural oils.
