Dusk on Howell Mountain

—————————————————
Howell Mountain Road winds it's way from St Helena in the Napa Valley up the hill about 1500 ft above the valley floor…to the little community of Angwin, where I make my home.
…and yes, we do have a lovely castle nearby… it's worth a visit if you're in the neighborhood…. +Castello di Amorosa 
…a quick snap on the way home from a Safeway run 😉

+Annette Biggers & +Karen Hutton, are you up for storming the castle?

Bonsai!!!!!

——————————–
It's a bit of a scramble down a steep bank to get to Bonsai Rock on the Nevada side of Lake Tahoe… but it is well worth the climb!

On Hutton Pond  

 As the sun and thunderclouds spend the day playing hide-and-seek, her thoughts are focused on the patterns of RGB that flash on the screen, begging to be finessed and cajoled until colors and textures fall into place, coalescing into another masterpiece.
…but she is ever aware that the sun will soon tire of the game, and slip away for a rest…and as its retreat becomes imminent, she steps outside to bid the ducks, geese, the clouds…and the sun…another good night.  
   Just another day on Hutton pond.

Half-a-Hundred

—————————————
Yep, Monday marks the big five-oh for me.
…so my sweet wife Susie and I are taking some time to get away and just explore around the Lake Tahoe area together.

This is our home base, not far from the entrance to Heavenly Ski Resort, thanks to a very special friend who graciously gave us a few nights in his cabin.

In the Grip of Winter's Chill

Ok, maybe I'm exaggerating… but it's going to get down into the 40s tonight!!!! I'll be leaving my faucets dripping to prevent pipes from freezing 😉

I never really get tired of the wild mustard that pops up all over the valley during January/February. This is just a quick snap while out running errands in St Helena today.
