Sunday Drive along the backroads

It was a gorgeous weekend in Cali.  Yesterday I stayed indoors and studied.  Today I couldn't resist a nice long drive up to Napa.   I put away the books, packed  a small lunch and off I went along the back roads hoping to find some interesting things to shoot and maybe some fall colors.

Driving along I notice the shadows from the telephone lines on the road.  I thought they were pretty cool. I pulled over an took a few shots. Several  people stopped and asked me what I was photographing.  My reply: "The shadows on the pavement made by the telephone wires"
One person said  "cool shot".  The others looked a little confused lol!

Finally made it to Napa.  Didn't see a lot of  fall colors but I did find a few leaves and of course some grapes.  : )

Almost ready to pick

Next weekend I think I'll go south down 101.

I participated in Scott Kelby's annual worldwide photo walk yesterday.  I spotted this old bicycle outside a restaurant in Yountville.  The bike was pretty cool, but I was drawn to the shadows made by the bike's wheel.

Saw this in my sideview mirror

A little Sunshine

It was a beautiful day in the bay area.   I got up and drove to Napa to take some pictures on the vineyards. On my drive over  I spotted this field of sunflowers.  It was an overcast morning so this was my spot of sunshine.

A beautiful day

There's nothing like a health scare to snap you back to reality.   Very stressful week for me.  doctor appointments, tests, then awaiting results.  All is well.   I could think of no better place to end my week but at my favorite place, the beach.   Love Laugh Live Life.
