Flowers

Looking for colorful signs of spring? I headed over to Costco and Trader Joe's the other day and look at what I found...gorgeous bouquets of botanical wonder...







Do you recognize any of these flowers? Any favorites?

Livermore Valley

I headed out to Livermore today to soak up some warm sunshine and enjoy what Livermore is known for: daffodils, history, and vineyards. Livermore was founded in 1869 and is California's oldest wine region. It is also home to the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory as well as many farms, ranches, and commercial endeavors. Come take a look at the colorful scenes I encountered this afternoon...

Daffodil Hill...









Ravenswood Historic Site...



























Deer Ridge Vineyards...













Livermore has many more scenic locales to offer and is a fun afternoon getaway from the East Bay.
