“I stood in the riverbed painting, and was struck by the primal power of eons of water, that carved out shapes, that the shadow cast by the late afternoon sun, crept across.  The season has not yet brought greens to the oaks, only russet blooms, and the golden sunlight really changes the hue of California spring.” – West Fraser
