Caramel copetta with marshmallow sauce & Spanish peanuts, California lime torta with Santa Barbara blueberries:

To the Mountains - Sacramento, California

One day, during my LA trip, I had reeeaaaallly wanted to go see the desert...
....but we ran out of time while rushing back from Santa Barbara. :(

So we headed here instead...

...to the mountains...

...and what little light was left, I took pics of the scenery......
...and said "hello" to the Tim Burton trees.
