This is on the inland side of Hwy 152 which goes along the side of San Luis Reservoir located between Hwy 101 and I-5. This is the first time for a number of years that I have seen water in this extension of the reservoir.
Going around the top end of the reservoir, the lowest spot in the distance is the dam.
Same as above a little further along.
Looking west across the reservoir. And, yes, the color is pretty accurate.
On the inland side of the highway are the rolling hills, now a bright Irish green.
Further south on I-5 just south of the Stockdale Highway, on both side of the road, are flooded fields. Some years in the distant past I would see flotillas of ducks and once a dozen or so white pelicans floating here. Only a few ducks this time.
Looking to the west the water stretches out in the fields.
Trees that have taken hold in the last five years stand in the water. 
As a contrast, here is San Luis Reservoir in a drier year.
