I went further up the Mariposa Trail off the Irish Foothills nat reserve. So these pictures are from the Oak woodland; as you go up the trail, the plant community phases into chaparral. I feel like when you enter, you're in an oak woodland/riparian area (but the stream is intermittent). And then the ecotone between woodland and chaparral it a grassland area with annual grasses and flowers. I only ID the genus for some of my plants because I couldn't determine the specific sp. I thought maybe the Deervetch is Deerweed: Acmispon glaber. I could not determine which kind of checker-bloom the pink/purply flowering plant is.

My girlfriend and I drove up CA highway 1 and pulled off at Hearst Memorial Beach/Estero Bluffs State Park. We walked right along the beach until we saw the pathway that heads up into the eucalyptus groves. This pathway leads you along San Simeon point, and then around it to the western face of the head·land. I took these images along the entire route: from the parking area to the Estero Bluffs trail (not sure what the actual name is, or if it even has a name).
