A curious toddler named Leland, dressed in a cozy two-tone fleece jacket, grips a rustic wooden split-rail fence as he peers with wonder into the Thistlewyck garden railway exhibit at Filoli Gardens. A miniature train track winds gracefully through a beautifully landscaped woodland setting, flanked by ornamental grasses, ferns, and rich redwood mulch. Towering redwood and conifer trees frame the scene, while wooden trellis structures add a fairy-tale architectural quality to the garden. Other visitors can be seen in the background exploring the winding pathways of this outdoor sanctuary. The image captures a timeless moment of childhood wonder and discovery amidst the tranquil beauty of one of California's most celebrated historic gardens.
