Copy of the text posted with the color version of this photograph: “This weekend I visited Muir Woods again – I’m working on building a varied set of photographs from this park. While the previous weekend was more of a typical winter day with overcast and drizzle, this weekend was the first with fair weather after several weeks of rain. Plants and flowers were coming up everywhere and water was flowing everywhere. Among the new flowers were many, many trillium plants, and many were already in bloom.”
