The images in this gallery were all shot on one Sonoma County property, the Petaluma River Ranch. This ranch has been a landmark of transistion for over fifty years, sigaling the begnning (or end, westbound) of rural Sonoma County on Hwy 37.

I remember once in the mid-1960s when traffic was stopped for a flock of sheep to cross what was then two lane country road. Today we rush by at 70mph, hardly aware of the constantly thriving, constantly changing agricultural activity a few yards off this busy artery of Bay Area commerce and commuting.
