Natural Area Post

I found these plants in a few different places! The smaller ones coming out of the sidewalk are ones I found on a walk around my neighborhood- they looked different than the other weeds, and seemed especially interesting to me because they were growing out of the concrete!! I also did a hike on Avila Ridge this week, so the two plants located on Shell Beach Road/Pismo Beach are from there. Those trees were especially interesting to me because of what surrounded them. There were a lot of shrubs on my hike, and being so close to the ocean, I wasn't sure how they would be able to grow but the trees were flourishing! It was really cool to see these trees right over the ocean. Lastly, the plant on the Cabrillo Highway I found this past weekend. I was on a drive north of SLO and pulled off the highway and found a cool trail. This shrub really caught my eye!! I had never seen anything like it before and was really curious to see what it was.
