Fields of Gold: Napa Valley Photos Of The Week

NAPA VALLEY, CA — Ahh, the beautiful, vibrant signs that spring is on its way! As in, these shots by multi-talented local photographer Al Francis of a mustard field in bloom on Yountville Crossroad. Mount St. Helena graces the background of the first photo; in the second, a woman riding her bicycle along the fields of gold seems carefree as can be.

Gorgeous shots, Al! Thank you — we always love sharing your work with the community.

It's Your Shot: Pictures You Take and We Share

Have you got the next incredible photo? If you have an awesome photo of nature, breathtaking scenery, kids caught being kids, a pet doing something funny or something unusual you happen to catch, we'd love to feature it on Patch. We're looking for high-resolution images that reflect the beauty that is the North Bay, and that show off your unique talents.

So, bring 'em on. Not selfies. Not here.

Send your photos to autumn.johnson@patch.com and we'll post the feature on an occasional basis. Or — post it for free in our bulletin board section on the site, and we'll feature it up top. Be sure to also include when and where the shot was taken and any other details about what was going on.
