PHOTO ESSAY: BACK COUNTRY BEAUTY

Printer-friendly version

By Miriam Raftery

On a January morning, while people in much of the nation were shivering in
sub-zero tempatures, I took a drive and basked in the glorious sunshine of
an East County winter’s day.

I found golfers teeing off at Singing
Hills Country Club, a cyclist savoring a morning ride, a farmer ploughing his
fields, hikers and dog walkers enjoying strolls. Aspen, sycamore
and oak trees sported brilliant fall foliage, even though we’re technically
in mid-winter, contrasting against rugged cliffs, deep blue waters and spring-green
grasses sprouting up on a distant shore. It’s a tough job,
but someone’s got to document all this back country beauty. Just another
glorious East County day!
