Mustard Flowers

The yellow mustard flowers that come up after a good dose of winter rains have out done themselves, and I know I’m grateful. This year can really use the bright spot, and in the bright yellow waves that’s literally what they are around wine country right now. Great time to just take a drive and enjoy. Here are a few photos:

Winter Yellows

One of the seasonal wonders of Napa Valley that we look forward to each year is the yellow mustard.  After the first serious rains of winter - usually in January - these bright yellow flowers, knee-high in height, bloom throughout the vineyards.  Miles of yellow, a sea of flowers divided into waves among the rows of grape vines.
