Linda Falls (yes…she does)

Posted on by

—————————————–
I live and work in a small community at the north end of the Napa Valley. I've lived/worked here for over 27 years….but in all that time, I never managed to make the short hike to a local landmark, Linda Falls, which is part of the Napa Land Trust. 
  Locals would be aghast to find that I've been here that long without a visit, but for whatever reason, it was not until the lovely Valentines Day we had yesterday (70 degrees), that my sweet wife and I made the trek. 
  I'll definitely have to come back to explore how 'Linda' looks under various lighting and water flow rates!

Northern California Man Struggles to Cope with the Great Blizzard of 2015
—————————————–
It has dropped below 70 degrees, I'm seriously considering putting on a long-sleeve shirt. 

Seriously though, I feel for those who will be in a real mess for the next few days… many will go without power or heat and have no way to get anywhere. I'll be sending up a prayer for you all!

More Camellias

The camellia bushes that grow along our front walkway go crazy with blooms every January. We live in the house that my parents lived in for 21 years, and the camellias remind me of mom…she loved them so much.

The First Mustard of the Season

———————————————————
The Napa Valley gets carpeted with wild mustard flowers every January…bringing color back to the valley after all the leaves have fallen. There's something fun about flowers blooming in the middle of winter!

Just a quick shot with my trusty Samsung….

An Evening at The Castello

——————————————–
I love the castle courtyard in the evening. I could sit here and ponder times gone by for hours!
If you want a chance to see it  yourself, you need to visit when the sun goes down early so the lights come on before closing time.
This is at the +Castello di Amorosa in the Napa Valley

You don't get a lot of days to catch the Great Hall festooned with evergreens! It's a beautiful sight at the +Castello di Amorosa in the Napa Valley. Wouldn't you love to have a banquet here?

Blooming Solstice

This is one of the Camellia blooms currently in my front yard…. it's just so weird to see shrubs full of buds and blooms at the beginning of winter. That's one of the things I love about California–no matter what time of year it is, it seems like something is blooming! 

Merry Christmas everyone!
