Live Oak Pasture 
Near Santa Rosa 
The California oaks 
have peculiar pictur- 
esqueness; and among 
them the live oak has es- 
pecial distinction. The 
specimens here shown re- 
veal the influence of pre- 
vailing winds, in that their 
trunks depart from the 
perpendicular, but they 
have the characteristic 
sturdiness of their tribe, 
and they. constitute a fea- 
ture of the landscape that 
is appreciated by every 
lover of nature.
