I suppose the <i>"water-woes"</i> here in Marin County would be substantially less if we didn't care about preserving a habitat for wild Coho Salmon--a species that has been on the brink of extinction for years due to ocean pollution.

But drought or no drought, the State and Feds have mandated that a certain amount of water be released from our reservoirs to keep the Lagunitas flowing at levels sufficient to encourage spawning of the Cohos during Winter and early Spring.

I began visiting the colorful Lagunitas Creek about 12 years ago when I decided to resume my interest in photography. I've visited this same stretch of the creek--just upstream from Devil's Gulch--countless times.

Forgive me for bragging but I have formed an intimate relationship with just about every mystical tree and convoluted rock in the area, and I've also gotten to know the really <i>mean</i> berry vines and <i>heartless</i> stinging nettles.

Everybody calls it "the lake", but a fertile valley near Nicasio in west Marin County was flooded here in the 1950's to create an emergency storage reservoir. We've been in that emergency for the past 3 years.

Their demise had been expected, and their age was definitely the cause.
Unable to withstand wind and the added weight of light rain, leaves dropped, well, like leaves.

As you might know, Redwood trees get a substantial amount of water by absorbing it through their needles and pumping it to other parts of the tree.

Inverness is located on the west shore of Tomales Bay, which runs southeast along the line of the San Andreas Fault. Surrounded by Point Reyes National Seashore, it is primarily a small residential community, with little industry other than tourism.
<br /><br />
The region became the property of James Shafter, who began to develop the property in the 1890s. It became a summer resort where people from San Francisco and Oakland came to camp, hike and swim in Tomales Bay. Many built small summer cabins that still exist today. Small steamboats took excursions down the bay to secluded beaches. They left from Brock Schreiber's boathouse, which has been preserved and is a prominent local landmark with its prominent sign "Launch for Hire".

The town is a 15 miles or so to the east from Drake's Bay on the Pacific Ocean, named after Sir Francis Drake, who explored the coast in the 16th Century. Although Drake's official log was lost, the ship's doctor's log described landing in an area that reminded him of the White Cliffs of Dover. Drake's Bay is backed by similar-looking cliffs, leading many to believe this beach is where Drake's ship landed. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inverness,_California"><u><i>source: Wikipedia</i></u></a>

Hustle and bustle in the distance. A plethora of people slaving away.

Within 100 yards of the main gate at San Quentin is a delightful overlook of San Pablo Bay and the Richmond Bridge. Not far below is a very cool beach that--I'm guessing--goes unused by the 4,223 prisoners incarcerated nearby.

Eucalyptus trees can be quite <i>full of art</i> in their old age. They aren't native to this area but seedlings were brought in great numbers from Australia. Great claims were made for their usefulness; many did not live up to expectations. This tree grows fast and straight, but has a tendency to split as it dries, making it unsuitable for construction projects and furniture.
<blockquote>
In the 1850s, Eucalyptus trees were introduced to California by Australians during the California Gold Rush. Much of California has a similar climate to parts of Australia. By the early 1900s, thousands of acres of eucalypts were planted with the encouragement of the state government. It was hoped that they would provide a renewable source of timber for construction, furniture making and railroad ties. It was soon found that for the latter purpose eucalyptus was particularly unsuitable, as the ties made from eucalyptus had a tendency to twist while drying, and the dried ties were so tough that it was nearly impossible to hammer rail spikes into them. <i>source:</i> <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eucalyptus#North_America"><u><i>Wikipedia</i></u></a>

This seven foot diameter pipe crosses underneath the county road; from the main reservoir to a smaller fore-bay, and in normal years it has at least s-o-m-e water in it, but this is our third year of drought--and some forecasters are predicting a fourth. I've seen <a href="http://www.donaldkinney.com/four/rcy2544x500x166.jpg"><u>River Otters</u></a> swim through this pipe--now the little water that remains is about a quarter mile away.

I often gaze out at these old piers at Buckeye Point and wonder about the stories they could tell. Of boats coming and going at a leisurely pace.
<br />

And before the State Park was established in the mid-1970's there were cabins and homes here. Some foundations still exist.
<br /><br />
Historic <a href="http://aphotoaday.blogspot.com/2011/04/china-camp-story-of-part-1-of-2.html"><u>China Camp Village</u></a> just down yonder was established as far back as the 1880's--an enterprise for netting Bay Shrimp, operated by Chinese immigrants who were prohibited by law from engaging in more dignified businesses that might encroach on the White Man's domain. They couldn't sell their catch directly to the markets in San Francisco--they were required to hire a Caucasian agent for that.

I probably can assume the ripples on San Pablo Bay <i>(the northern "thumb" of San Francisco Bay)</i> are the same today, as they were in days past.
