Great photos! My only comment is that on image 2 I found the two homes on the left of the image pulled my eye away from the main subject. A slight crop could be considered, but otherwise wonderful!
My best photos came from times when I was able to spend a week or so in an area, either exclusively or going back and forth. And sometimes it's the first time when the conditions are just right and they don't repeat for a long time.

I agree, two weeks is generally the minimum and I usually give it more like 3-4 to create solid bodies of new work. But in regards to the area you have depicted, I figured the only way I could really bond with it was to move there. So 23 years ago that is exactly what I did and it really made my career what it is today.
With all the fires and smoke, this year has been rough. The colors are great but I have largely skipped it this year because, well....if you live here then you know you can choose a better year to go crazy with. Hoping to get some much needed moisture this week, we are in extreme drought now.
