Color spotter Michelle Pontoni checked in earlier this week with a report from Livermore.

“My story today is quite brief with no fantastic photos like we’ve seen on your site in the past few weeks, but I just wanted to report from where I am in Livermore,” she said.

“The streets of Livermore and surrounding creek areas are still mostly green. We did find a little color at the Shadow Cliffs’ Lake Boris and Island Pond.”

“The local vineyards have no substantial color, yet, but we did enjoy viewing the Retzlaff Vineyards’ very old vines loaded with gorgeous grapes.”
