Do the two golf courses of Brookside count as open space for the city of Pasadena?
You have to pay to be out there, after all.
I've been thinking and writing a lot about open space lately, and this shot makes the courses look like parkland, anyway.
This egret was on the 14th fairway of the No. 2 course north of Washington up against the western bank of the Arroyo Seco. He had been standing in a puddle of water left from the rains until I came along. You often see egrets in the courses' four water-hazard ponds -- none of which are north of Washington -- but out on the grass, not so often.
