Well, too nice of a day (finally, after mostly bad weather for the last several weeks) to miss an opportunity to go somewhere for brunch. So, three of us headed off from RTS (Reno-Stead) to WLW (Willows) over in the California valley. Helped that it was a bit warmer there than here. Took a few photos on the way.

All sorts of interesting patterns in the farm fields:
