Perfect start to Summer Solstice weekend with Outstanding In The Field at Hearst Ranch Winery. 20 photos tell only a smidgen of this deliciousness. Fell in love again and again. People, place, taste, beauty, relaxation, California. Thank you Jim Denevan, the artist behind the scenes, creating so many, of which this was just one, I was lucky enough to attend. And thanks to my friend Julie who said yes to spontaneity!
