Snapshots of summer meadow in Black Star Canyon...............
In summer, most of the chaparral meadows in South California, in my observation Ventura to San Diego county are covered with this golden carpet of grasses..I always wanted to know the identity of this plant...got to know, its wild oat (Avena fatua)....
Open space, fresh air, vibrant greenery, sun light, golden grass, wildflowers, silky breeze...the perfect place to get lost....
And a delightful summer meadow in Wildwood park...
What a fabulous experience it was to navigate the narrow dirt paths flanked by these swaying grasses!

Now, I wonder if this plant, apart from creating a scenic landscapes to hike and providing food to myriad chaparral critters like towhee, sparrow and squirrels, has any human food potential?
