Above: The entrance path to the Upland Garden on Oct. 15, 1948 showing the path leading uphill along the boundary fence with the west loop path branching off to the left at lower center. At the end of the visible part of the fence is a large Oak and the oaks of the central hill and beyond showing at center left. There is no evidence of the Wild Plum that is now at the top of the hill to the left of the path.

Below: The same scene in early Spring (April 16, 2008). The fence is now covered with vines, the oak is much larger and has a bench beneath in the shade. The conifers behind the oak are obviously much larger as are the trees in the background. Except for the width, the paths are in the same location. Far below: A similar camera angle in summer (June 27, 2008) with full vegetation. The intersection of the path branching to the left at lower center is just visible.
