Yolo Sunset
Last Saturday was a pretty busy day for us. Firstly, I got up to do yard work, then we took the kids to the pumpkin patch at Zittel Farms, which we do every year. The Zittels are friends of ours, they used to go to the same church as us in Orangevale, and they have a nice place where we can get pics of the kids with pumpkins, and they can go on a hay ride, and pony rides (which of course, Nekoda loves). This year our kids are dressing up as a Clone Trooper (Jadon), and Little Bo Peep (Nekoda), a sheep (Tara), a lady bug (Kaya), and nothing (Leon).
After the pumpkin patch, we drove out to Yolo Wildlife Area in Davis, a place where we can drive around and see plenty of birds and such. We saw quite a few birds, including a peregrine falcon, and egrets, and many other small birds as well. The birds seemed quite skitterish out there, especially the egrets. I may post some shots a bit later.
Anyway, we stayed out there for the sunset, and this was the result. It was a rather pretty sunset with some nice pink clouds. I admit I was hoping for the wild, red colors I had in SF a week earlier. I must be spoiled, because we were rather fortunate to have any nice clouds at all.
After sunset, we went to dinner back in Davis, then drove home, put the kids to bed, and watched the Vancouver Canucks win their hockey game against Toronto. It was a great day.
