The MS hill photo (on the left) was taken between vineyard plantings. A blight took the vineyard, it was removed, and the green hill is the result. When the soil was ready, after the photo, a new vineyard was planted. What you see in the photo on the right is fall-color grapevines. If you look at the larger photo, you can still see green grass below the vines. Seems no one bothered to read the article. The MS hill photo (on the left) was taken between vineyard plantings.

Today? That's... incongruous to reality. BTW, there are NO non-green hillsides around here right now, so… when was this taken again? Today? That’s… incongruous to reality.

I'm afraid the grass is green from late September to late-May. It got over 100 degrees I think once this last summer. I do believe a "boo-yah" is in order.

I never liked the image. In fact I'm surprised to find out it wasn't computer generated. :p I think it lasted about two minutes on my computer. I never liked the image.

The grass in CA is green in the winter and gold in the summer, and I have never seen nor heard of this supposed grass dust. Also, it is a great place to vacation (in fact it is one of the most poplar places in the world). Zavatone, it’s green for more than just two months.

Come August, all that grass is yellow, dead, brittle and ready to burn at over 100 degrees at midday. And if you're allergic to cut grass, there is so much grass dust in the air that it's best if you go somewhere else for vacation.
