5:00 am scenery

Choco and I got started early this morning again. 5:00 am.

The sun had just come up but the fog hadn't completely lifted.


The rice fields were glittering as was the stream. You can see we get a lot of water around here. So quenching to my Southern California eyes.

Choco and I checked out the forest.

"Are you coming, Mom?"


Speaking of checking out things. While I took this picture Choco heard tweeting in the wheat field and took a romp. I could hear a rustle-rustle-rustle and occasionally see a black head bounce through the stalks.

"Choco come back!!! Ding-dang-dog! The farmers don't want you in their fields!"


Flowers along the roadside and on the field edges.


Poppies are abundant!


And I was ever so pleased to capture a heron flying past the morning sun!

Thank you for sharing these exquisite photos.

Even pictures of water quench my Southern California eyes. And I have never seen a field full of red poppies before - hillsides turned brilliant orange by the California variety, yes; but not these. (Not this year though because we didn't get enough rain.) And the cool-looking forest is so inviting.
