More Spring in the Foothills

We've been blessed this year with a long luxurious spring, due mostly to the heavy winter rains and the moderate temperatures (that will change soon, I'm sure).

It has given me plenty of opportunities to get out to the west side of the Sacramento Valley, to remote and obscure places like Newville, Paskenta, and Sites, to capture the beauty of the foothills in spring. The green that lasted so long this year is rapidly fading, turning rapidly into the 'California gold' that is both dull and beautiful at the same time.

But spring isn't quite done yet, and I'll have more photos before it's done!

    I fave the 3rd picture. The perspective is beyond imagining. Such a composition of ground, grass, mountains and the sky is perfectly perfect *if such sentence exist*. Contrast of colors and the shadow reflecting on the grounds makes it more alive. Am not looking at a picture; am looking at nature. Well done Tony!
