Marty and I have been going exploring on Sundays to places near Sacramento that a) we've never visited, and b) are scenic enough to inspire him to sketch the landscape. Today we found a most scenic spot.We planned to drive out near Fairfield to see the hills, all golden in this late summer, and along about Davis, took a detour up through Winters on a whim, looking for Buckhorn's. We discovered we were "only" ten miles from Lake Berryessa, so decided to continue north. We stopped at the Monticello Dam and hydroelectric project, where there is a distinctive "morning glory" spillway behind the dam. Because the lake level was low, we didn't see it in action.
Then we drove a few miles farther to Markley Cove and Resort, before ducking into a little park to visit Putah Creek and sketch. I uploaded several additional photos to my Flickr photostream.
