Santa Ynez Morning Fog


Santa Ynez Valley was blanketed in fog this morning as happens from time to time in the spring. It adds an air of mystery to the landscape as it obscures valleys allowing only peaks to be seen. The fog hid the panoramic view I have in virtually all directions. It burned off a couple of hours ago but here's a picture of Fritz I took as the sun was rising. 

He and Anke are going for a trip to the groomer in Los Olivos this afternoon. They enjoy the TLC and I enjoy sipping a class of Brander Sauvignon Blanc in the Los Olivos Cafe while I wait. 

When I moved to the Santa Ynez Valley, I was worried I'd miss the sophistication of the city but that hasn't been the case at all. Together, Solvang, Los Olivos and Santa Ynez offer a wide variety of shops and restaurants - even live theater at Solvang's PCPA.  I'm amazed at what's available just minutes away from my ridgeline retreat.
