Wandering Wednesday - California Skies

 

Last month, for my third appointment for the clinical trial I'm participating in, we drove to Los Angeles and back again in one day. We were trying to avoid any unnecessary interactions while out of our area because the Covid numbers were really on the increase. It made for a very long day in the car so I took a lot of pictures of the sky as we went.  In the early morning as we passed the reservoir, the rainy skies were lifting and clearing.
I like the framing on this one with the oak tree and the sunrise.
I really love those hills surrounding the reservoir. This one reminds me a bit of some of those religious paintings.
There was a lot of cloud activity as we drove down the state and back.

In the afternoon on the return trip, there was a rainbow.
I like the shadow of the car in this one.
The brilliant blue of the sky at this hour always gets to me.
The vineyards turn a seasonal orange this time of year. It goes really nicely with the sunset colors.

It's really a sight, those grapevines on their way out for the season, really beautiful.
I'm glad we took the chance on me participating in this clinical trial. I'm hoping that it will be okay for me to go to the final appointment a little over a week from now. The doctor travels from Arizona, and the travel restrictions in California are tightening.

Garden Cornucopia

 We've been lucky enough to get some great figs from our tree this year. I like cutting them up this way because they're kind of heart-shaped.

An actual pomegranate is growing on my tree. Finally! I think I've had that tree for five years, and it flowers and sets fruit but they've never gotten this big before.

I definitely did not give these enough water this year, but they look interesting with a few petals like this.

 I was happy to get a surprise Iris blooming over the last few weeks.


 Our curious deer is still sticking around.
Rain clouds and the late afternoon sun.
