FEELING UNDER THE WEATHER


I think the sinus creeping crud finally got a hold of me. Don't feel so hot and won't get to your posts for a few days.

My crazy little frog seems to have survived the latest rain storm.
Maybe the red sneakers were good luck for him.
Enlarge the photo to get a better look at those shoes..

BETWEEN STORMS


Yesterday I went out in our backyard between rainstorms to take a few pictures.
There were lots of new buds on the trees and some great water drops. This drip was coming off a bit of sap on the branch.
I was fascinated by the tree reflection in the drop.
As always enlarging the picture will show the detail more clearly.

WE NEED SNOW


Another weather system if finally making its way into California. We desperately need
a wet snowfall in the mountains so we can get the needed water into the resevoirs.
Wishing everyone a wonderful weekend.

This vintage poster caught my eye and I thought it would be the perfect choice for the letter " C ".
