Last Thanksgiving weekend, I hopped in the car with my camera and took these early morning shots of the hills and vineyards around Cloverdale, which I think is technically called the "Anderson Valley" region of the Sonoma wine country. The colors were amazing, as I think you'll agree.....
At one point, as I was driving, I paralleled a HUGE flock of starlings (I think that's what these birds are) that migrates through this area every year. I pulled over to watch as they roosted in a cluster of tall trees, then every now and then rose en masse and circled over the vineyards. Their noise was a terrific roar; rather like a high-pitched waterfall - constant, deafening and completely overwhelming.
Happy Hectic Friday!
Lovely pics! Thanks for sharing.
