An Ocean of Forsythia
Karen from Alameda California recently wrote asking if I could photograph the Forsythia along the Meadowbrook Parkway. She described it so beautifully I thought I would post a part of what she wrote here.
"...I have always loved seeing the forsythia in bloom along the Meadowbrook Parkway behind Roosevelt Field. It has always reminded me of waves breaking on the shore of Jones Beach or Fire Island. Out here in Northern California, forsythia bushes are few and far between and I would love to be able to see that sight again."
So my son Ian and I drove to the parkway and he filmed exactly what karen was talking about.

As a child, our driveway was lined with forsythia. I never see the same type here though. The big old bushes drooped down to the ground, forming spaces inside themselves. We used them as rows of "houses" and played house under them.

Indeed, forsythia is not common out here on the Left Coast...
I also love the music playing on the video!!
