Fall in California

[dwgm]

It is really beautiful this time of year in Southern California, and it is exceptionally so this year. The hills are turning greener by the day with all the rain we've been having. The deciduous trees are turning the most brilliant colors, due to recent cold (40's & 50's) nights. The silk floss trees, which I believe are an Australian import, are blooming bright pink flowers. The greenery is, at present, beautifully rain-washed, and looks to staying that way: there is rain predicted for tonight.

Gotta have clouds for rain, of course, which make for lovely sunsets. oiseaurobyn took this shot from her office window this afternoon. One of the many reasons to love California.

That's so beautiful.. as I sit here in the 35 degree weather. I really long to be on the warmth of the beach.

35 degrees! Good lord. It rarely gets that cold here, thank goodness. Glad you liked the pic.
