A City in the Clouds - Speechless Sundays

 

Southern California Mountains

I was out showing homes today (yes today), and I had to stop and be glad for the camera I always carry with me.  All of this rain we've had the past couple of weeks has created so much snow and beautiful photo opportunities.

Christine,

That is just stunning! I wish we had something even close to a hill here in Texas.

Christine - WHAT A GREAT SHOT!!!  It has been nice to get a little break from all the rain we've been getting lately.  However, I do hear we have some more rain coming in the next day or two.

Larry - It's good to hear you're busy.

Juli - It's best admired from a distance or for a day trip, IMHO.

Rob - We're really lucky to have such beautiful views here.

Myrl - I was enjoying the view all day, and was especially pleased with this composition.

Chris - We really do.  Several years ago, we took my in-laws to the beach and then directly to the mountains because they had a hard time believing that could be done in one day.

Jason- I love having my camera with me.

Brent - Texas is pretty flat which is a good thing if you want to see for miles.

Steve - I love having a purse camera.  Thanks.

Donne - I've been so happy to have the sun, but I guess it's going away again.  At least it leave beautiful, clear skies.

Michael - Thanks.

Chris - We don't have that problem here.

That's one of the most beautiful things about the rain in Southern California, Christine.  It washes away the brown air if only for a little while.
