California countryside, just about 40 minutes northeast of San Francisco.

1. I want to hit that on a Ducati

2. Love that photo!

Lots of roads like this around here. At the right time of the day/week the traffic is minimal. And our weather right now is gorgeous. Upper 70's today, and it feels like early Spring.

Ducati conditions, indeed!

Indeed!

4. I remember when that song was popular on the radio...

And with the aches and pains I've got this morning, my body is sayin' "Yep, you are that old."

14. Now there's a memory! I forgot about them. I remember the ones that looked just like that.

17. OH!!! You shoulda put that in the photo contest!

[tk2kewl]

18. just googled it, i don't think that woulda been fair

[2naSalit]

20. Well, in that case...

I can understand your reluctance to enter it.

[Cavallo]

13. Thank you for that. Very much appreciated.

I remember when John Denver died. The news didn't spend much time on it at all which surprised me because everyone knew his songs.

[elleng]

15. You're welcome, Cavallo,

and yes, everyone STILL knows his songs. I'll listen to this again, and then head for bed.

8. It's nice out here now.

Mid-70's, feels like Spring. And we've had good rains, and things are beginning to bud out.

I'll try to remember to post a couple of images in September, when it's all smoke and flames...

7. Things are pretty green around here right now.

I look out my window and pictures of my weed eater fill my mind.

9. My lawns are growing about 6" a week.

I have some major weeding to do in the flower beds.

10. that green really pops

nice!

11. It really is that green around here right now.

We had good rainfall through Fall and Winter, and a couple of periods of weather in the 70's, so everything is budding out.

There is bound to be a burst of tall grass/undergrowth, followed by hot weather and everything drying out and turning brown. Fires generally follow afterward.

12. i'm looking at a whole lotta brown for another month or so

can't wait to shoot some color.

19. Nice pisture!

I like the shapes and the growth patterns of the black oaks. Can't walk around them to get in the shade without closed-toe shoes due to prickly things that they shed, but they're beautiful and surreal looking.
