Momma Llama in AMADOR COUNTY

The ascent of this hill looks a little like I’m feeling.
I don’t know where and what the end will be.
Everything seems out of kilter
but for now I’m enjoying
these beautiful rolling hills!

Orange poppies  blooming  along the Grapevine  – a stretch of freeway that can be treacherous because of steep hill sides – on our way to Amador county, S.E. of Sacramento

Since we were driving I obviously  couldn’t take this close up these blooms so close to the ground.
Took this pic several years earlier when we went one time specifically to see the poppy fields.
Seeing the half deteriorated and wilted parts of flowers next to it, makes it more true to life, don’t you think?

Poppies are California’s state flower
Plastic wrap caused most change in modification for Mandarin Orange

Amador County is known for its vineyards Love the sight of a vineyard. No doubt you’ll see a painting of that in the future. They needed the rain that fell on Friday

discovered the next day it had snowed over night when we came down the mountains (at elevations of 3000 feet and highe)r. Thought on making this a black and white, but decided to leave this sky in their natural colors which as more bluish , brown, and charcoal grays:)

Now, in contrast, since Monday –  a very hot wind (nothing like it!) is sweeping over the area I live, making temps soar.

 Am a city kid, but wouldn’t mind to trade it for these landscapes! DO YOU HAVE A TRADE-OFF?

(if you wanted to, that is)

 Thanks to All the Hosts!
