someday i will sit in that pasture

i absolutely love the drive to fortuna....i fall in love every single time.  there is a place that is so beautiful that i almost stop every time.  right around ferndale the trees open up and you can see the whole valley.  the sky melts from gray-blue to a smoky orange against dark blue hills and deep green pasture interspersed with all different shades of green trees.  i would learn to paint if only i could paint that scene.  
and then in other places there are trees that look like they've been planted upside down because of the way the branches lay....other trees look like they're straight from the african sahara.  
there's also those plants that look like feather dusters...can't remember the name...but when the sun is setting behind them, it's amazing.  i'm in love


on a completely different note....i along with my sisters am now a rap video star...please enjoy "the fight at the rave"
and click on the high quality option...it's worth the extra two seconds

I know exactly the spot you are talking about. It is beautiful. I feel the same way about a certain spot from Fortuna to Rio Dell. I always wish I could capture it in a personal way like painting too, not just a snapshot. But alas I lack the skills. :)
