Washburn Trail, Joseph D. Grant County Park, Santa Clara County, CA, 3/24/2015
Amid a sunny interlude on a cloudy afternoon in early spring, I photographed the green rolling hills of Halls Valley from atop a hill near the White Barn. Built in the 1800s, the barn is named after Amos White (1823-1894), a local landowner. Halls Valley lies at the western foot of Mt. Hamilton, a few miles east of San Jose, CA. This pastoral setting is part of 9,560 acre Joseph D. Grant County Park, where cows graze and wild boars roam freely.
