On the Road

Last week, I left our dun-colored canyon and took a trip to visit my friends Chuck and Carol in the San Joaquin Valley of California. I found myself mesmerized by the big sky,

the deep green fields filled with orange flowers
and dotted with sheep – (hope you can see them in this too dark a photo),
The orchards were in bloom,


and the orange trees in my friends' backyard heavy with fruit.
In the morning, I woke up to rain and some enterprising birds eating apricot blossoms for breakfast.
There are still lots of buds and some blossoms they missed, so not much harm done.
Later in the day it stopped raining and Carol and I visited the small town of Exeter. It's famous for its murals and many antique shops, so we had a lot of fun! More about that to come soon.
