The simple beauty of lavender colored pennyroyal flowers growing around a fence post with barb wire was irresistible. I had to pull my car over for a few photos. The aged vertical wood post appears to have green moss and lichen growing on it adding another texture to the rough grain.

Lavender colored pennyroyal flowers are growing upwards close to three sections of horizonal rusty barb wire. They are beautiful globe-like little flowers separated by thin short sections of stalk. The growth tapers to progressively smaller flowers all the way to the tips. The bonus to the beauty is the intense fragrance.

Here is one more photo of lavender colored pennyroyal flowers growing near a cow pasture along an aged barb wire and wood post fence. The rough wood appears to have various green moss and lichen growing on it. This is in Woodacre, CA.

In Woodacre, CA, this view is a green meadow foreground with Spirit Rock in the distance fronted by an oak tree. Beyond are green hills with trees. The sky is beautifully cloudy with color as sunset approaches.

Woodacre, CA is the first of four villages in the San Geronimo Valley. Once you pass through Fairfax, you have arrived at your destination to experience bucolic beauty in the valley. Spirit Rock is concealed by an oak tree.
