Whirly Wings
I love hanging out with the ducks. They always give me something to smile about, and in this case, I took advantage of how this female Mallard flapped her wings.

It's final exam week here at Pacific Union College in hills above the lovely Napa Valley.
I woke up very early this morning (not on purpose!), but thought I'd head out to see if I could find a vantage point for capturing the sunrise…
It's been clear and near triple digits the past few days, so I was quite surprised to find the temp at 50 degrees with fog, mist, and drippy trees…so I thought I'd try to catch the mood of the campus while students were still sleeping…
BTW, my office and classrooms where I teach are in a building about 100 feet behind me here.

Happy #caturday !
Ok.. they're not pigs…but they can act like pigs when it comes to mealtime… and it's not exactly a blanket… it's their new kitty bed…
….but Amelia & Galileo (Lia & Leo), brother & sister, seem to really like their new bed.

I've never seen a fox wearing gloves… it seems rather silly… particularly when these are only available in late spring when the weather is much too warm to be bothering with gloves….
…oh well…yet one more thing I don't understand about floriculture…

A curious thing happened… this SUV seems to have been targeted by the #gulluminati , but we have only circumstantial evidence.
There were no actual participants in view, but they seemed to have been quite effective in pulling off one of their #splatterday attacks.
The eerie thing…none of the other vehicles next to this one appeared to have been affected. It is unknown what beef the #gulluminati had with the owners of this one.
If there was to be a theme related to #seagullbuttshots and #seagullbuttsaturday , some of these folks might (or might not) be involved…

You know the old saying… when life gives you lemons…
I love the beauty of the Napa Valley, but in late spring and summer we almost always have clear blue skies… While most people love that, it makes it a lot tougher to do interesting landscape photography!
….so the challenge is to find something interesting to put into the frame as you play around for the scant few minutes between harsh sun and sun dipping beyond the western hills.
I just discovered this spot north of Calistoga a few days ago, and you can be sure I'll be back at different times of the year when the sun will drop behind the hills closer to sunset time, and the weather gives us some fun clouds to play with! +Angelika Perry & +Dallas Perry were here to share the fun.

A fabulous day spent at the lovely +Castello di Amorosa with +Angelika Perry & +Dallas Perry visiting all the way from North Carolina.
Lots of frames to sort through and play with processing, but I thought I'd share a quick edit before heading off to bed tonight…
The Castello is a fabulous place, and a "Can't Miss" stop for anyone visiting the Napa Valley.
Thanks so much again, +Jim Sullivan and your team for all of the hard work you do to make this such awesome place!
