I tried to take a picture of Van’s Beach from this same spot yesterday and the wind was just  much, had to retreat.  The cherry and grape growers are hopeful this weather will stabilize.  Warm ups are nice but can put crops in jeopardy.   A free 2017 Leland Report Calendar is now shipping with all book orders!  http://www.artistasylum.com/book/h7b12a9f3#h7b12a9f3
