Coffee was calling! So on the way to Big Trees State Park, we stopped in the small resort town of Murphys. This town was our lunch stop when we were shooting the Concours d’Elegance at Ironstone Vineyards. You can see that post here. Well, we got more than just coffee!
This home owner was so happy that we were taking pictures of her quaint house. 
I liked the tiling on the steps. 
This collectibles shop caught my eye. 
A group was touring the town. 
No, we didn’t have coffee here. Too crowded! 
Okay, he’s just cute. 
Jean said she and her husband stayed at this hotel many years ago. 
Autumn colors on Main Street. 
Ready and waiting for anyone who wanted a ride.
After our visit to the State Park, we stopped near a bridge to capture the scenery.
Trying to get some silky water hand held. 
Beautiful stream. 
Shadows and light.
Last, we made a stop at Ironstone Vineyards just as they were closing. Jean had never been there. Fortunately, we had just enough time to see the grounds and shoot some flowers.

What a lovely bunch of photos! Murphy looks like a nice place to visit – so pretty.

Glad you liked the town through my lens Leanne. There are many small towns in the Gold Country area, but Murphys is one of the best.
