Winter is when we get rain here in California, so even the plants that aren’t irrigated start growing green
Clouds flow over the snow-covered San Gabriel Mountains
Clouds flow over the snow-covered #SanGabrielMountains above #LosAngeles this morning. We've had a decent amount of rain this December, and snow in the mountains, leading to hopes for a wet winter and enough water to store for next summer.
Oh, and skiing for those who are into that sort of thing 😁
Twilight at the circular offices
Twilight at the circular offices. There are four of these round buildings arranged in an arc around a central, taller building that's out of view. The rock gardens and drought-tolerant planters used to be lawn and fountains until they redid the landscaping a couple of years ago.

Sometimes it’s worth remembering to look away from the sunset, too. I stopped to capture this view yesterday.
(Incidentally: yes, there are signs and light poles inside the pond. The park doubles as a flood control basin.)

A fall evening in Monterey between storms. This is near Custom House Plaza, along a section of Alvarado Street that’s been closed to cars and made into a pedestrian-only street. Just behind where I was standing, a temporary ice skating rink has opened for the season.

Probably #Steinbeck would have said it a bit more elegantly, but I’m sure he would have thought it.

A flock of birds over sailboats on Monterey Bay. It was raining for most of the road trip, but Friday had some nice sunny weather in between storms, and I got to walk along the shore for a bit.

A gloomy sunset over the OilField.
A #gloomy #sunset over the #OilField.
Kenneth Hahn Park features a patch of semi-wilderness in the middle of suburban #LosAngeles that’s great for hiking…and is also right next to the Inglewood Oil Field.
Wait, *is* that a trail?
Wait, *is* that a trail? There are a lot of branching trails in #HahnPark, and I took one that was steeper than the others because I wanted to make sure I had as much time as possible on top of the ridge before sunset. But after a while I started to wonder. By the time I got here, footing was tricky, and there was one point where I needed to use a hand to brace myself.
It wasn't a problem going uphill in daylight, but when I came back down after sunset, I made sure to take the shallower switchback trails instead!
