A break in the weather.
Finished touring around with my guests for weekend.
On my way home I stopped in Kenwood, California to photograph "mustard grass".
Colorful grass with flowers around vineyards are common.
Each time I see them coming up, it makes me break to the side of the road.

I plan on returning to the art sculptures of cars this week.
Need to retake them with less cars around, better light and hopefully no rain.
(see previous post to see the red art car).
It was quite a day, filled with sunshine in Sonoma County.
I am grateful.

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.
