'What A Lovely Morning!': Napa Valley Photo Of The Week

NAPA, CA — Check out this beautiful photo taken Monday by Napa Valley Patch reader Lori Bowe of the sun's rays breaking through morning clouds, quintessentially illuminating a roadside Napa Valley vineyard.

Bowe did not use a tripod; she took it from her car window.

"We sat in stopped traffic for about 10 mins while they repave Silverado Trail," Bowe wrote in an email to Patch. "I rolled down the window and snapped this one. What a lovely morning! Hope you like it."

Thank you so much for sharing your photo, Lori — we don't like it, we LOVE it! We also admire how you made the most of being stuck in traffic.

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.
