Last evening I drove north to Marysville in hopes of catching a nice sunset near the Sutter Buttes. The Sutter Buttes is listed in the Guinness Book of World Records as the world’s smallest mountain range. Technically speaking, it is not a mountain range at all. What it is is an extinct volcano. Either way it makes for a nice backdrop for a sunset photo.
Last evening I positioned myself so that I could photograph the sunset and the buttes both reflecting off of the water in a rice pond. Shortly after the sunset, thousands of waterfowl took flight over the area. It was amazing. In addition, while I was taking photos, I had a full moon looking over my shoulder. It all made for an enjoyable evening.
RV There Yet? 
Brings back good memories! Back in 1985 I camped up in the Sutter Buttes for the weekend on a geology field trip. It was my first geology class that I took at Cosumnes River JC and it convinced me to change my major from Mechanical Engineering to Geology 🙂
