An image of Northern California, likely the Marin/Sonoma coastal region as seen from the top of a ridge. A lush spring meadow stretches across the foreground, dotted here and there with songbirds, and a suggestion of fog as it laces through mountains provides an atmospheric background. Finally, Ryden uses a lemon yellow for the sky, creating a warm and inviting image.
