Have fun in Death Valley. The website:

Indicates there are still wildflowers to enjoy.

All the best,

Bill. Thanks for looking and yours are very nice. Looks like a well maintained orchard. I would love to go back to the one I took, but don’t have to go to work there now and we are getting ready for our trek south to Death Valley. A fellow worker said it was very pretty this morning with some frost control measures being taken. She did not specify if it was smudge pots or water, but said she would send me some photos later.

Aram,
I enjoyed your orchard pictures very much. I think orchards are nature's masterpieces.
The orchards here in Saratoga, California, some 800 mile south of you, have been in bloom for several weeks now, in generally sunny weather in the 60s and 70s. No smudge pots in sight!
Last Saturday was such a gorgeous day that I spent a couple of hours photographing two orchards nearby, one the Heritage Orchard, which is owned by the City, and is preserved to remember how much of the land around here once looked before the influx of homes and businesses in the 1950s replaced the fruitful orchards.
The other orchard, just down the street has been in the hands of the Novakovich family since 1925 and they produce and sell apricots and other fruits.
The first two were made with an M8 and an Elmarit-M 2.8/24 mm, the third with the M8 and an Elmarit-M 2.8/28mm.
I am trying to learn to use the free JAlbum software and you can see the photos at:

Comments, etc. welcome.

All the best,

Bill

At least one orchard has started to bloom, but last night it got to 20F, so it may be in trouble today. Here are some shots taken last Thursday and Friday. Comments welcome.
