David Whittemore's Two Hundred Fifty Pixels Wide : Hills and bales

A request was made to see what the hills of the central valley of California look like at the end of January. Things are very green because around here, "winter" means "rain". The bleached-out golden of summer is replaced by lushness, even though the temperatures are only in the low 50's F. Driving to this spot, there was a herd (?) of 6 wild turkeys walking across the road.

The very next day it snowed 1/2" - the most snow seen around here in about a decade..
