“Then and Now” shows the waterways that give California life. The top depicts the Imperial Valley, where I grew up amidst fields and irrigation canals that made the Anza-Borrego Desert an international food producer. I now live where the Sacramento and American Rivers join. Here are artifacts of river life: River Road on the levee, the bridges, Folsom Lake (with a bead where my house is), the wetlands, crane migration, and curved rice fields.
