What's Left of the Hay Fields

Untitled

This weekend I had a lot of free time. I relaxed a lot and enjoyed the warm sun on my skin for the first time since last summer. I was feeling a particular 1970's California, free spirit vibe on Saturday and ventured out to where I grew up to take these pictures.

I love the rolling hills, hay fields and huge oak trees in the town I grew up in. I love that I had such easy access to huge open spaces to explore. By no means did I grow up out in the country, but in northern California many suburbs are still surrounded by undeveloped land. I used to go on nature walks, hikes, picnics and drives through the rolling hills whenever I needed some space to clear my thoughts and I still find it so peaceful out there.

    PS I won't update you when new developments pop up for fear of depressing you. I'll let you "discover" them on your own.
