Walnut Grove, Ca Sunsets

I love sunset. I have never been a morning person so I don't have many sunrises in my portfolio. So here is a sunset that I just came across that I had never edited before. These two images were taken within 10 minutes of each other. Amazing what some clouds can do for a picture. 

Calistoga~Napa Valley

Calistoga, Napa Valley

I had the pleasure of visiting the beautiful Napa Valley and the Calistoga area. I love this area. The wineries are so beautiful. Here are a few shots from my day. 

Autumn Leaves

Fall

I love Fall and all that it brings. Changing leaves, falling leaves, cooler days, crush time in the nearby vineyards, afghans and my kitty on my lap. Strange how that when it is time for the seasons to change that I too am ready for that change. Here are a few of my favorite fall images. 

Stuck in Lodi again....................

Stuck in Lodi

Well we aren't really stuck but I love the old CCR song. We moved to Lodi in January after living in the foothills for 32 years. I must say we have adapted nicely. It is nice living so close to my kids, work, sister and not to mention conveniences. As a photographer it is nice being somewhere different with different picture opportunities, and I have found many right here in Lodi. I love living near all the vineyards, I find great beauty in them. So here are a few of my Lodi pictures.

Vineyards and Grapes

I have a fascination with vineyards or even orchards for that matter. I think it is the leading lines that draws me to them. They are so beautiful all year long. I love them in all seasons. I am drawn to bare trees and vineyards. Here are a few of my favorite shots taken at different vineyards around Northern California.  

Lodi Grape Festival Entries

Since I am a new resident in the town of Lodi, Ca. I thought I would enter the Lodi Grape Festival this year. Here are my 6 entries that I will be entering. I was able to do 3 color and 3 B&W entries. I chose these 6 mostly because I already had 4 of them printed, matted and framed. So wish me luck!
