Up from Boonville. An old apple tree. Few are now left. The valley is turning from fruit trees and sheep farming to Pinot Noir. We heard that our friends at Lazy Creek Vineyards, an idyllic spot near Philo, have just been bought by a large Nevada-based corporation.

Boonville, northern California. Up for the weekend with Sam and Angie.

The general store on the main street – organic produce in the oldest working refrigerators I’ve seen.

On the aura of Polaroids and the temporality of color see my blog for 12 September on the physiognomy of nostalgia.
