Morning dew on vegetation. From an Oats Peak Hike, Montaña de Oro.
Wiki en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Croton_setigerus says: Croton setigerus (formerly Eremocarpus setigerus) is a species of plant known by the common names doveweed and turkey mullein. It is native to western North America, such as Montana and California. It has naturalized elsewhere, including parts of Australia. This is a squat plant with furry, feltlike, hexagon shaped leaves, pale pink green in color. The small green flowers are covered in soft bristles.
Cultivation: Croton setigerus is is used as an ornamental plant, its low and rounded form fills a pot.
The foliage is toxic to animals, and the crushed plants were used by Native Americans to stupefy fish and make them easy to catch. The seeds are very palatable to birds, however; the common names of the plant come from the affinity of Doves and Wild Turkeys for the seeds."

Meet at Visitor Center, Montaña de Oro (MdO) State Park. Strenuous. 7 mi., 4.5 hr. (we did it in under four hours, but we also shuttled by car between the terminal Coon Creek parking lot and the starting trail head at the MdO Ranch House. I drank 60 oz of water, and used two hiking poles (highly recommended on this hike).
