Hills of San Diego county

I used to do fieldwork in this area when I worked on Penstemon during my dissertation. It's sure changed in the past 14 years. Robynne stopped in a driveway so I could snap a picture of the "yotie" boulders (coyote rocks) in the chapparral.

Gazania and Norfolk Island pines are definitely not native to this region.


This is a typical view of the hills around San Diego.
