I am in California!! I'm currently sitting outside on a lovely shaded porch of a little organic market/internet cafe in Ojai. I"m living on a mulberry farm right now, trading work for lodging and eating the most amazing fruit! I've been picking red and pink pomegranets, oranges, peaches, carob pods, white sapotes, and tons of other exotic and delicious fruit. I only have to work in the orchard about 3 hours every morning, the afternoon and evenings I've been driving around the valley. There are natural wild hotsprings, pools, shops, galleries, and all kinds of beautiful views. I don't have good pictures yet of Ojai, but here are some pictures of the other places I've been:

i can't wait to be home in a few weeks.
how long are you staying in california picking? it's gotta be beautiful this time of year once it starts cooling down. it's beautiful everywhere, though. i have this one favorite spot on my way home. it's a road that goes up to a ridgeline and all the trees lining the street are this orangy-red and silhouetted against the evening sky every time i come through. it's this warm, beautiful break in my day.
i hope your early fall is providing the same feelings and amazing sights.
