More San Ramon Vistas

The flowering plum trees are in full bloom and the emerald hills are about as green as they're going to get. Spring will soon be here. Check out the scenes I came across today during my jaunt through Bishop Ranch, Westside Drive, and Norris Canyon Estates...














Are you looking forward to springtime?

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.
