We had a bit of the white stuff yesterday, but not enough for me to put on my old snow suit.  There was not even enough to make a  snow angel!  😦  But I did want to share with you what it looks like when we do get snow!

Leaving from home, I made my way down the road.

A beautiful old oak

You can barely see the flakes coming down, but they are there.

As I get closer to the winery, I take this shot.

As I approach the winery, here is my last stop before I get to work.

Here is the view as I pull into the driveway.

Here is the view from my office window. If you click on the photo you will see a larger image and you can see the flakes coming down.

On my break I take this photo.

And I went out to the Caltrans cameras so that you could also see what the freeways look like. The first image is of Dutch Flat, and the second is in South Lake Tahoe on Highway 50 at Ski Run below Heavenly Valley Ski Area.

In 2009 I got into the car with my camera in hand, and headed to the area up here in the Sierra Foothills known as Apple Hill. The region grows such a diverse variety of apples, which we who live here all benefit from, and is quaint in and of itself. Come with me as I go back in time and I make some stops to take photos, and maybe you too will want to make the trip for yourselves!

I hope that you enjoyed the trip and I will be featuring Apple Hill again when the buds break this spring!
