Susy, A Story of the Plains

The narrative unfolds along the San Leandro turnpike, where the relentless heat and dust create a stark landscape of wild oats. As the road progresses, it transitions into a thicket of scrub oaks, which gradually gives way to a lush live-oak wood. This transformation leads to a primeval forest, evoking a sense of timelessness and the beauty of nature's resilience against the harsh environment. The vivid imagery captures the stark contrast between the barren surroundings and the rich, hidden ecosystem waiting just beyond the turnpike.
