Terrific opportunity for our group this week, when Cathy arranged a visit to Runnymede Farm in Woodside on the San Francisco Bay Peninsula, where her friend, artist Sam Perry, is a conservator. The huge property belongs to the heirs of last century's California sugar magnate, Claus Spreckels, and is only open to non-profit and educational groups with a connection to the family. Two descendents, John and Dodie Rosekrans, have placed more than 150 sculptures on the land along hiking paths, amid the tall grasses, vintage oaks and rolling hills. An outdoor art extravaganza. Much gratitude to Cathy and to Sam!
