槲寄生的传说 登高庆新年 龙行山川 2月10日Joseph D. Grant County Park



南湾(Santa Clara County)最大的县立公园,Joseph D. Grant County Park,一年四季都是热门的徒步之地,但是以春季最佳。这座公园通常也被叫做Grant Ranch Park,跟我们熟悉的大菠萝山同属一个山脉(Diablo Range)。 

在这个山头,我们会发现一个很特别的现象,就是很多橡树上有一丛类似鸟窝的东西,其实那是一种寄生植物,叫槲寄生:Mistletoe,就是寄生在其他植物上的植物,可以从寄主植物上吸取水分和无机物,进行光合作用制造养分。

在欧洲神话、传说与习俗中,槲寄生植物有重大意义。在现代西方,仍将槲寄生作为圣诞节的装饰物与象征物使用,还有Kiss under Mistletoe(在槲寄生下的亲吻:视频)的浪漫传统,也就是在圣诞这天,站在槲寄生下的人不能拒绝亲吻,而在槲寄生下接吻的情侣将会幸福终生。

爬到山顶,可以看到Mount Hamilton山巅的利克天文台(Lick Observatory),如果你有什么疑问,不妨隔空和天文台进行一次对话,也许可以收到来自星际的回音。最高峰ANTLER POINT,海拔2999英尺。

山脚下还有一个湖,Grant Lake,可以垂钓。山上还可能遇到野猪,天上飞的还有加州的金鹰,树上还隐藏着啄木鸟和猫头鹰,看你是否能发现它们。
