Into the Woods

This is one of my favorites from my Northern CA series.  This shot was taken at the Santa Barbara Botanical Gardens along one of the perimeter trails. 

Arbor Trail

River Song

Swift and silent and strong
        Under the low-browed arches,
    Through culverts, and under bridges,
    Sweeping with long forced marches
    Down to the ultimate ridges,--
        The sand, and the reeds, and the midges,
    And the down-dropping tassels of larches,
        That border the ocean of song.
