This is a virtual tour. Enjoy it from the comfort of your easy chair. No viruses to be spread this way.
Mooney Grove Park is 100 acres of about 50 types of trees. The Valley Oaks (quercus lobata) make up about half of the tree population. The land was sold to Tulare County in 1909, with the agreement that only dead or dying Valley Oaks could be removed. Meanwhile, many new trees have been planted, a few of which I recognized, some that I learned about, some that surprised me, and all of which contributed to the specialness of this interesting and beautiful place.
It helped that I was working there during March, my second most favorite month. The grounds were green and many trees were in bloom.
Stop talking, Central Calif. artist, because we want to see some photos.
Okay. Photos. No more talk. Just pictures of a beautiful park in spring.
Any questions? To be continued Monday.

I’ve only been to Mooney Grove once–when they dedicated the train car a few years ago. I should visit this lovely place more often, but usually when I drive to Visalia it’s just a lunch/bathroom/grocery stop on the way to my Happy Place!
Sharon, I know how it is when we are loaded and heading to MK!
