On Black Saturday, we were invited to a Sikh prayer offering in a Sikh temple in Silicon Valley. The weather was glorious and spring like in the low 60s, the sun was out, and everything is blooming and the hills along highway 680 are green.
I took these photos on the drive back home. I was reminded that my recent Skywatch entry was similar, green hills and blue skies. Please pardon the repetition. You see out here in my world, the rolling green hills don't stay long. Before we know it, we have wonderful rolling brown hills. So I'm enjoying all the green before they're gone.
Oh no, I think I see the beginning of the browning of the hills. Anyway, I hope you all have a wonderful Spring and a restful weekend.

Look at that!!! It looks like a child scribbled in the sky with a white crayon! How incredible with the mere wisps of cloud. Love the rolling hills of the valley. Sounds like an interesting invite.
ReplyDeleteOooh, I was first (and second... now)
ReplyDeletethe photos are like little paradise, quiet; good to roll and my cats would love to hop and run and climb trees.
ReplyDeleteI love the only three colors that I see here: green, blue and some white. Perfect!
ReplyDeleteOh wow! Definitely may favourites this week. Fabulous.

The hills are so very green, and the sky so very blue! A really lovely sight.
ReplyDeleteNothing in sight to spoil the view.
ReplyDeleteLovely post and pictures. Thanks for sharing.
I love driving through green hills, I feel like I've just had a wonderful trip. Thank you so much for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI love the way the rolling hills and sky look together. So beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean - enjoy them while you can!
ReplyDeleteThose shots are plain gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteWonderful scenery!

I can't remember the last time I've seen such a beautiful sky! Greetings from Croatia.
ReplyDeleteDon't care if you have similar shots in other posts! These are wonderful photos! Perfect blue sky, only a touch of white clouds - and green hills! A great combination!
ReplyDeleteAnd yes: it pays off to participate on SkyWatch! ;-)
I love how the Sky in this peaceful setting is so dramatic.

I know the plant your talkin about. I don't know the name but it's definitely not forsythia. Have to ask my mother. She knows all plants.
Fab green hills and that blue sky with the wispy clouds is magical.
ReplyDeletePerfect green hills with a fabulous sky. You could always come for holidays in England once your hills have turned brown...don't expect blue sky like the one in your photos, though :)
ReplyDeleteNapakanta ka ba ng 'the hill are alive'? It is indeed beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting Norwich Daily Photo and leaving your comment. Come back tomorrow!

We can never see to many green rolling hills, blue skies, or white clouds. Very nice.
ReplyDeleteI am minding this a bit; I don't think I could get tired of all that green and blue. Lovely! You need a lawn chair and a cold drink.
ReplyDeleteEven the clouds look rather like a prayer etched into the wind and blue!
ReplyDeletesuch a blue sky, so pretty,

Great skywatch photo. Those clouds seemed to be scratched into the sky by an artist.

Must have been interesting to visit a Sikh temple.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful skies over your rolling green hills. Hope you get enough rainfall to keep those hills mostly green for awhile.
Inspiring View!
ReplyDeleteid like to think id go up those hills and roll down in coming back. The green looks so spring.
May you have a nice week-end!
I see your clouds look like they are dancing for joy! If I was younger, I would roll down the hills, haha!
ReplyDeleteI love those swirling clouds.
ReplyDeleteThose shots look magic.

Beautiful blue sky with undulating landscape.
ReplyDeleteSorry your green hills won't be around much longer...they are so beautiful! As are your skies...very nice!
ReplyDeleteStunning shots.

Visit my Sky Watch Friday.
These photos say "California". I too love our rolling, oak studded green hills.
ReplyDeleteThey're beautiful photos. The colors are so rich. Your hills remind me of the ones here in Southern California when you get on the open road. Beautiful when they're green but when they turn brown they're fire hazards until the next rains fall... if it rains.
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful rolling hills and contrasts. Very reminiscent of England.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful rolling hills under your blue sky and wispy clouds!
ReplyDeleteRepetition perhaps, but beautiful repetition.
ReplyDeleteIs it just me or do I see pi in the sky? The clouds do resemble chalk marks on a blueboard. School is in session!
I am enthralled with blue skies and rolling green hills right now because we have neither. Bring it on!
ReplyDeleteThese are great photos. Just love all that beautiful blue and the rolling hills.
ReplyDeleteA wonderful series of SWF photos. All spectacular shots!
ReplyDeletethis is like through a glass window...so beautiful, perfect weather.
ReplyDeleteThese are so pleasing to the eye and the mind. Green hills with loe growing trees, blue skies and lovely wisps of clouds. I can't think of anything being much more soul quenching. Such wonderful compositions too.
ReplyDeleteOh these are great shots! The first one is a picture of a perfect sunny day, makes me want to run up to those hills and sing..."the hills are alive..."
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photo for Sky Watch Friday, just love those rolling hills and curious clouds.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your kind comments on my post eariler, yes sometimes it is fun to get interesting angles to include more of the scene, it really was very peaceful and quiet.
What a spectacular photo series!
ReplyDeleteHey give me all the green hills and blue skys you have.
