Foothills

I took a little trip and photographed in the foothills below Mariposa.

The grape vines were just starting to grow and I found the look interesting

Every time I go up there I pass an old barn and outbuilding. They're a little off

the of 140 behind a locked gate so I pulled out my trusty Tamron 70-300mm.

While taking photos I decided that the small outbuilding was more

interesting than the barn. At least from the distance I had to shoot from.

There were a number of pools of standing water, around each were wildflowers

getting as much sun as they could before everything dries up again.

If there's a wire in the way of your photo and it's attached to one of these, don't move

the wire. Your hand will thank you.

After my hand quit stinging ( a weird dull sting) I was able to take

this shot.

Go, See, Enjoy.
