Exercise #1- Leaf & Flower Phenology

I went to Joaquin Miller Park and found most of the trees already leafing out. I did find a picture of one tree that was leafing out at the top but was still bare at the bottom. Not quite sure what it is, maybe a toyon.

I found a better selection of bare and flowering plants. I have attached two of my favorite examples. The green wattle tree was gorgeous! One picture is it blooming yellow flowers at the tip and the other is a younger one not flowering.

I also saw some French Broom that were in multiple stages between bare and flowering.
