These shots were taken at the lily pond on the grounds of the beautiful Ferrari Carano winery, which we visited a few weeks ago. This large frog was so still that we thought it was a garden statue; however he hopped away when my friend, Georgia, started tossing (very small) pebbles his way. Yes, we (I) screamed. . .
During the 45 years we lived on the outskirts of the wine country, the number of wineries seemed to grow exponentially. I have no idea of the statistics, but there are wineries everywhere now. We hadn’t been in the Healdsburg area in years, and that is where we spent the afternoon with our friends, Georgia and Jerry when we stayed with them in Petaluma. It is so beautiful, and it was fun to visit as tourists from Arizona.
Ferrari Carano is a fairly new winery and vineyard, despite its classic design. We enjoyed tasting the wines and exploring the beautiful manicured grounds. The California drought was not apparent here! Here are a just a few photos from our visit.
