manzanita


Saw these tall shrubs on the mountainsides in San Jose.  They looked like some kind of myrtle at first glance--similar branch structure and leaves, but with striking wine-colored bark.  Definitely gorgeous trees--the whole vacation was full of lovely Californian live oaks, eucalyptus trees, and unfamiliar flowers and vines.  My mom and I like to joke that some people go sightseeing, we look at plants.
