the weather was idyllic during last week’s visit to napa. it was crisp and sunny and two ducks enjoyed a leisurely swim along the napa river.

i visited napa and for the first time spent the majority of my time in downtown napa. it’s a vibrant place and one you should consider adding to your radar next time you head there.

driving down the mountain from idyllwild, i pulled over to shoot the view of the temecula valley from above. it couldn’t have been a prettier day.

i don’t see too many of these, but when i do they’re spectacular. it looks like three more are getting ready to open behind this one.

i walked out this morning and saw a praying mantis on the walkway in frontof the house. the shadows made him (her?) look quite fierce.

late summer weather has been unusual in southern california. Lightning and thunder and humidity has created a few spectacular sunsets.
