Reverse sunset. The day was remarkably clear, the Santa Ana winds having swept all the smog out to sea, but at the end of the day you can see the dust coming in from the desert. Tomorrow will still be hot and dry, but it won’t be as clear.

Slippery when wet. (Honestly, it seems kind of redundant.)
Slippery when wet. (Honestly, it seems kind of redundant.) Summer storms are unheard of in this part of California (outside the mountains, anyway), but after a day of Florida-style humidity to go with the heat, I shouldn’t have been surprised when the sky opened up in the afternoon.

#SDCC #TBT! @casualcosplaykatie & Speed Force’s own @kelsonv as Golden Age Flash Jay Garrick & Yomiko Readman aka The Paper from Read or Die, at Comic Con International in 2009.
Sadly, we don’t have anyone on site at #ComicCon this year. We’re following along online with everyone else! (We’ve posted this a couple of times, so I thought I’d try some post-processing using AfterFocus to blur the background. Not bad, though the edges are a little sharp.)
NOTE: The original photo is on K2R, Flickr and Speed Force. Need to see if I’ve used (or at least saved!) the background-blurred version anywhere already.
My afternoon
Flashes of WonderCon! I saw a lot of amazing Flash cosplayers over the weekend, and these are just the ones I caught on camera. I’ve finished my full gallery at Flickr/kelsonv & write up on my personal blog – you can find a link to it on the latest article on SpeedForce.org if you’re interested

Considering Wally West’s favorite cereal is canonically Chocolate Frosted Sugar Bombs (a 1990s-era Calvin & Hobbes reference), this seems appropriate

Rainy day
It was intense in a lot of places, but our neighborhood did about as well as the last big storm. Northern California has been having it really bad, though. It’s weird to go from 6 years of drought to catastrophic flooding.
Sun halo
Sun halo. At ground level it was in the low 70s, but up in the sky it was cold enough for ice crystals. It’s hard to be sure, but I think there’s a bit of a circumscribed halo just outside the main curve of the circular halo.

Venus is surprisingly high in the sky right now.

Voting accomplished. Waited 45 minutes, in the shade, so that wasn’t too bad. Stopped for coffee afterward. maybe should’ve gotten decaf…
