Oak tree in Ahwahnee Meadow, Yosemite national park and sun star

California black oak tree in Cook's meadow during fall with a sun star through the leaves.

October in Yosemite Valley, and the black oaks are at their peak, their leaves a brilliant gold against the clear blue sky. The sun was low enough to create a starburst effect as it shone through the branches.
