September 30, 2005I came across this banded sunset last year on the side of the "centerpiece" of our area -- Mount Tamalpais... September 29, 2005September 28, 2005Roy's Redwoods Reportedly, one hundred years ago, Marin County, California, had thick stands of redwood trees on the north sides of every hill. Today, the redwoods remain only in certain areas, and one of the finest is Roy's Redwoods... If you would like to see more of Roy's Redwoods, you are invited to visit my brand new website at: http://www.photoarrow.com/roysredwoods/index.html September 27, 2005September 26, 2005September 25, 2005hill and clouds Hill and clouds... The more earthly citizens of Marin County are trying desperately to thwart the building of a huge water tank on this pristine ridge above the San Geronimo Valley... Oh, they say they are going to bury it, but you know how it goes -- the area will never be the same...

And I guarantee you that there is yet "another" hill just beyond the top of this hill...

They have never been able to figure out if Sir Francis Drake actually went ashore in this area, but they named the bay and beach after him anyway... Years ago they someone unearthed a weathered brass plaque, but many people have dismissed the plaque as a fake. If you are looking for great wildflowers, the Chimney Rock area is the place to do it... The trail to Chimney Rock is famous for having one of the finest displays of wildflowers on the entire coastline of California. The weather out on this point (about a mile away from the Point Reyes Lighthouse) is almost always cold, foggy, and windy, but the wildflowers obviously love the harsh conditions...

It's low and slow now, but just wait until the winter rains raise it's level sufficiently to permit the spawning Salmon to return...
