Even at the end of October, when most color is coming from the autumn leaves, we can still find some beautiful planted flowers at sunny California. This picture was taken at Castello di Amorosa at Nappa Valley, a 20th century stone castle and vineyard. 
Not only the trees, the leaves of grape vine also changed to brilliant color.
We spent a day in Napa Valley after out trip to Yosemite and Eastern Sierra. The weather was absolutely beautiful. We visited several vineyard, but did not drink much. What every we did drink was very good.
It was also the harvest season. It seems that 2009 has been a good year for the crop. Unlike the old days, when the year was good, the wine was good and they sold at better price. Now a good year produced too many grapes. We then have a grape glut and the price of wine goes down. I hope that is true, we did not see that was very evident on the price tag of wine in the restaurant.To see more flowers from around the world click here
