Sonoma and The Cook

[Gary A.]

I like the way you process your pics especially the black and whites. Some great pics in there!

Thank you LilyBee.

Another winery, I forgot which one (lol) ... I think this was in the Alexander Valley.

Still going for those long pours.

Wine ...

... and a roll.

 

[Gary A.]

Got it. Yeah, I add a smidgeon of sepia to some of my B&W ... and I like contrast.

So do I. I see the color ones have nice contrast, too. Looks like slide film.

This whole series is just fantastic.

Cook and the geese make me smile

I process to a previsualized image ... I see the world as film. I dunno about fantastic ... but thank you. The Cook makes everybody smile. Not onlyis she the greatest pooch in the world, she is also the most benign creature in the world.

Pt. Reyes: Unfortunately the fog had socked everything in.

 

[Gary A.]

What a great storyline, great photos and a great looking dog to boot.

Thank you. I've had many dogs from mutts to Goldies ... Cook is not only the best dog I've ever had ... but possibly in the world. Wheatens Rule!

Pt. Reyes Station:

A Flag in the middle of nowhere.

Tower o' Abalone Shells

Can't get enough of those Abalone towers.

A memorial in a little park.

She takes a while getting dressed in the morning. Buts it is worth the wait.

Nice stuff. I like Simi Pinot Noir.
Those breakfast shots - making hate my diner choices at the moment ...
The Abalone Towers reminded me of the GD Wall of Sound - well, a "small" section of it anyway.

Simi was okay, definitely worth the stop. The reds at Silver Oak ... truly the nectar of the Gods. I'll send you a bottle from Simi.

Breakfast in Healdsburg.

City grapes.

More wine lol.

Seals in Bodega Bay.

You're very welcome, you're very welcomed, you're very welcomed and Thank you. lol

Some Sonoma landscape.

A difference of opinion in Pt. Reyes.

Along our morning walk in Santa Rosa.

So are you like rolling from location to location after all that wine?

LOL ... we had a designated driver. A taste flight is around a glass or two. (These photos were taken over a number of days.)

Lining 'em up, a flight at Silver Oak.

While the wine was truly, absolutely wonderful ... we had to take a break from drinking all that alcohol.

The designated driver.

Pt. Reyes again.
