Several days ago the clouds near Bennett Valley were spectacular. Late in the afternoon, the billowing thunderheads bloomed forth as the blustery winds spread the falling rain on Annadale and Hood Mountain. Later in the evening, swirling clouds erupted from the southern Santa Rosa region flowing to the east in an amazing arc of texture and color beneath which lies the beautiful verdant hills and valleys of our beloved area. So grateful… gotta love this county , our wonderful Sonoma County .
"In the upcoming months we will once again be treated to the beauty of ripening grapes on the vine. From multicolored , variegated leaves, to plump fruit that’s spans the spectrum of color from violet, to mauve, to plum … the twisted wooden base tells the story of old growth that has endured on hillsides to yield a harvest of plenty that will provide a drink that has been equated to the nectar of the gods. Our countryside is blessed with this beauty, and I, as a photographer am grateful for the opportunity to photography the bounty as it evolves."
