Gold rush

After looking at my favorite city daily photo blogs, I am trying to look at things a little differently, trying macros, trying different angles, etc. Below is my 1st attempt. The 1st photo below is my more abstract view. The second photo is what I would have usually put in my view finder. These were taken in downtown Napa next to Fuller Park

Golden Grapevines

Words cannot describe how beautiful the Napa Valley has been this fall. And fall shows no sign of ending. Last year was my 1st fall in the valley and the autumn colors did not las long as it got cold and rained early. I sure need a wide angle lens. Would have shown the landscape better. Took this photo at the entrance to Elhers Estate Winery, just off of Hwy 29 N of St. Helena.

Colors in the Vineyards

Went on a drive today in search of fall colors. Stopped on Sonoma Hwy across from Stanley lane and walked through a vineyard. It was ridiculously hot today, about 85 degrees
