The rains are starting to take hold. Hopefully they will stay for a while longer.
It was a late afternoon Sunday evening in November. I was lurking the garden looking to take pictures of birds when I realized this capture of forks would be enough of a reward. There are magical times for capturing good photography; they are early morning and late afternoon. Autumn in California is not as colorful as you would find in may other regions of the United State, but the muted colors do provide a great backdrop.
This rose is in my back yard, just outside of the garden. Spring 2014 is here and this is one of the signs of that fact.
I found this daisy field by a vineyard in the Russian River Valley area. There is no stronger sign of warm weather and the impending spring season than a field of flowers like this. It’s a good thing I was wearing shades when I saw this.
Due to the lack of rain this winter, there was a late arrival of the mustard in the vineyards this season; we usually see this in February. Once it appeared in March, it came on strong in this vineyard of head pruned vines on River Road in the Russian River Valley.
