The past few weeks have been cold, drab, and foggy with gray overcast and rain here in Northern California. But the Ferrari Pond Trail in Lincoln Hills is a colorful place despite the gloomy weather. The rains have turned the fields into lush green backdrops. And the overcast helps to saturate the colors, so when a colorful bird, like the Western Bluebird, lands on a twig to survey the area, the green provides a perfect background for his brilliant blue feathers. The blue and the green create a color combination that lifts the spirits and shows how beautiful a simple scene can be.
