Oak Savanna (a small section)

Fort Steilacoom Park

Lakewood, Washington

 

"...an oak savanna is a type of savanna—or lightly forested grassland—where oaks (Quercus spp.) are the dominant trees..." (Wikipedia)

 

I'd never heard that term before until I met the oak savanna in Fort Steilacoom Park. Many of the oak trees in this oak savanna look like they stepped right out of the King Arthur/Middle Age legends. Here are a couple of mossy oak trees that appear to be reaching out to each other!

 

Happy Tree-Mendous Tuesday!!
