Short Drive in the Country

On Wednesday after picking up our taxes I decided to go for a short drive into the country outside of Ukiah, Ca south of where I live in Willits. Actually in Mendocino County any time you leave any small city town or village you are immediately in the country. It's a beautiful place to live and I'm glad that for this period of time in my life that God has planted me here. Outside of Ukiah there are a lot of vineyards. I stopped by one where they were irrigating. As a photographer I loved the repeating patterns created by the rows of vines. There was something fascinating about the way they were broken up by the pattern of the sprinklers. I must say I really felt sorry for the poor guy working adjusting and repairing the sprinkler heads. It looked like cold, wet work.
