Mustard in bloom, Sonoma, CA



I captured this photo today, driving home from a work weekend in Napa.
This time of Year is typically a photographer's "pull over and take a photo" season in the Wine Country, with the mustard flowers in bloom. When I see a potential photo while driving, I usually do the ceremonial quadruple-take glance, then subsequently I find myself debating internally over whether or not it's worth the time... More often than not, I'll get about a half-mile before whipping a U turn, then try my best to look like a complete tourist.
Today, I was glad I "stopped to smell the roses" (photograph the mustard), as the bloom fades quickly.
