Road TIme

Last year this was a road I traveled on in the desert.

Where it was warm and dry.

Today I am heading out from cold, wet, windy weather to

SNOW COUNTRY

Since this weekend with the girls has been planned for months we are going for it.

Packed ready to go for adventure.

Many of my fellow bloggers live in the cold snow for months.

The three of us will be in a cabin not far out from a quaint town which is celebrating, Daffodil Festival, St Patrick's Day, and Gold Rush Days all in one.

Best thing is this cabin has two fireplaces.

HAPPY TRAILS TO ME

see you when I return

Another Barn

Same route another barn on a vineyard.

Dry Creek Road outside of Healdsburg, California.

January is suppose to be our cold rainy season.

The sun was not out this particular day, but for the past week it feels like spring.

We need the rain but I love spring.

I keep thinking our area will be in for rain but later, and maybe not stop kind.

While I read the bloggers I follow I see their weather!

Snow, bleak days, and home bound.

I am so grateful for living in Sonoma County, California.

No complaining from me...

Below is the same photo except the dirt was left on bottom side.

And I tried to paint it with a digital program.

I was inspired today by a visit to a new friends home.

She and her husband are artists.

They had paintings all over their home, it was lovely.

I can't hand paint, but I can tinker with colors and programs.

Sometimes a person needs to stick to what they know.

But is sure fun trying.

After and Before

Today I went to post office in the little town of Kenwood, California. 

Since the weather was drab I decided to venture off the highway. 

It was fortunate that I found this truck sitting in a field behind a link fence.

I already knew I wanted to photograph it.

On the way home I thought, 
"gee maybe I could make a few changes".
