  • What season is it again?

    Living in Southern California I have become accustomed to not having real seasons. This doesn’t mean that I am complaining about the beautiful weather we have, but I do wish we had just a tad more authentic fall and winter days. Aside from the desperate need for rain, Southern Californians get way to excited about a little rainfall. Less than inch of rain is a big deal.

    Rain clouds? We love those too.

    Why?

    Well, you see, a few rain clouds against a blue sky after the rain in Southern California make for the most beautiful pictures. So I guess I will take the spring-like winter days if it means I have views like this. However, I would like to experience the snow in winter just once.

    What is winter weather like where you live?

  • Sunset Sunday – Through the storm clouds


    Southern California has had a few days of rain this week, but that didn’t stop the sun from shining through the storm clouds. Don’t let the big dark rain clouds fool you when a storm is passing through because no matter what, the sun always finds a way to brighten up the end of your day.

    Have a fantastic week and don’t forget to take time to watch the sunsets.

  • Stop the presses! Rain fell in Southern California

    After what seems like forever, Southern California finally had its first big rainfall of the season.

    I can only think of one thing that gets us Southern Californians talking more than a storm and that is earthquakes.

    You see, we don’t have a very visible change of seasons. We pretty much have blue skies and sunshine year round.

    I’m not complaining about the weather, but you can understand why we get so excited when the rain comes.

    I was in awe of the clouds today and the past few days leading up to the rain. In fact, if you follow me on Instagram you might think that I am a tad bit obsessed with clouds.

    Storm clouds are coming.

    It rained – stormy sunrise
    That’s one big rain cloud!

    We didn’t get tons of rain – but enough to wet the roads, clean the car, and get people talking. Oh, and there was thunder and lightening too! I love the sound of the rain – it totally relaxes me. I’m looking forward to more rain and the bright green hills that the rain leaves behind.

    Beautiful skies over the ocean. The worst was yet to come. 

    Do you like the rain?
