Flowers and Trees were growing and blooming everywhere we went in Napa last week. The colors were amazing. It seems like every direction we looked there was something beautiful to photograph. We drove by Stirling Vineyards which is the vineyard with a tram/gondola that takes you to its hilltop tasting room with dramatic vistas. It wasn’t the tram we were interested in this time. We were taken by its tree lined driveway and overgrown but blooming fields. It’s times like this I wonder why I don’t live in Napa…
Do you have a favorite Napa winery to visit?
Check out some more Spring Napa Shots here…
Between this and the photos you posted on the book of face, I think I may want to start a vineyard…
Beautiful!

Oh boy. You should certainly make your own wine or at the very least make some moonshine. Right up your alley friend.

Looks so beautiful. Our son just spent his 40th birthday at a wine farm in St. Helena. 🙂

Thank you. It is stunning. There are so many reasons to visit and wine isn’t always the most important one! 😉

Your photos capture it well. Never met a winery over there I didn’t like. 🙂 Oh yeah, and the country is beautiful. 🙂 –Curt

Ha, no kidding. I have met a few I didn’t like. The wine has been terrible and overpriced at a few and some of the grounds are boring. But, overwhelmingly the wine is good and the grounds are pretty. I think my goal for next time will be to choose some wineries up on a hill with a view. There are so many I noticed as I was driving around.

I biked through there once, tasting wines as I went. It probably wasn’t the best idea I ever had. 🙂 –Curt

I saw a bunch of groups of bicyclists who looked like they might be on a tour. Thankfully they were on the smaller less travelled roads. But between them drinking and most of the people on the road drinking it didn’t seem like a great idea to me either.

Love that first pic. I always want to get the chance to capture something like that. I had some but not as defined as yours. Excellent use of leading lines in photography.

Thanks! It was one of those spots where we had to pull over. There was no option not to. I had to be patient while cars drove through though. And I had to try and compose it to not include some ugly signs.

An interesting trip to Napa. And a good thing I’m already home and don’t have to drive and risk a DUI.

That’s kind of fun. I think they were spread out over a couple of weeks. I need to get hoppin’ on the rest of them. And I have some from Mexico I have written I just need to gather up the photos. (Older trip I never wrote about.)

Your Napa posts have made me add the valley to my (immense) to-travel-to list. Look forward to the mexico post. Where did you go? The city or the coast?

It was to the Yucatan Peninsula a few years back. I think I may have done a post on Uxmal but I never got around to Tulum, Coba, Chichen Itza, and a few others. I took some nice photos that will be fun to share.
