1985 | Marin County, California
Marin County by intention is one-third suburban, one-third agricultural, and one-third parkland.
The particular place shown here is in someone’s backyard. Soon after my picture was made, the individual alders in this grove were cut down in favor of more light for the nearby cabin and grading for a recreational horseshoe pit.
Later, after this property changed hands, this clearing was formalized into an English-style garden. Two winters ago, the place again began to show more of its true nature when the little stream which you can just see here at the lower right had its own way in a big storm.
I’ll have to take another look soon.
