Autumn Colors and Reflection: Rocky Oaks Pond

Nov 29th, 11 / 25 Comments

In the middle of Autumn, in the middle of the day, I have never seen so much gold colors. A small pond at the Rocky Oaks Park tucked in the middle of the Santa Monica Mountains in the city of Malibu.

Plants that the wildlife feeds on have given a nice shape and colors

Ripples of water at the shallow end

Water fowls like to show off their trails too!

The blue water provides a great contrast to the dry leaves.

Rocky Oaks Park

You can easily miss Rocky Oaks Park, hidden between houses, roads and other signs of modern life, in the Santa Monica mountains. It consists less than 200 acres of diverse plants and wildlife. A short and low impact hike, it was a way to burn off those calories over the Thanksgiving Day feast.

From the trails, you can see up above at a distane, a private residence or maybe a business along Mulholland Highway. The yellows look like vineyards in rows and terraces.
