What An Amazing Week

Over this last week, in southern California, we've had:

1. Hail
2. Strait Winds
3. Tornadoes
4. Flooding
   
5. Earthquakes
6. Landslides
7. Lightning/Thunder
8. Rainbows
   
9. And a year's worth of rain in a week's worth of time.

This morning, after a series of storms, the skies were clear and and made a postcard that lasted the time I drove to work (I was stuck inside all day and it was dark when I left).  I am so thankful for where I live and work.  I feel sorry for the people that take it for granted.  Hopefully the view this morning helped at least one person realize how lucky they are.


More rain has been forecast for next week...

Sky Watch Friday: They Fell Down

As I was driving into work this morning, this was the view through my windshield.  According to my parents, when I was was young and would see something similar, I would say, "Uh Oh! Clouds fall down!"

It's still an interesting phenomenon if you ask me.

Another Thing That Caught My Eye

I was walking though the kitchen, looking for something to take a picture of today since the ones I took earlier aren't worth posting, and these caught my eye.  It has a little more contrast than I would normally like, but I think it suits the picture quite nicely.

How cold this:

Chasing Rainbows

So we just finished day 2 of the Southern California "Storm Watch 2010".  The banks were closed yesterday due to MLK Day, so we had to make sure we made the deposit today, and I was lucky enough to get charged with this task.  As soon as I walked out of the bank it was my lunch time.  And as I walked out I caught a glimpse of a rainbow out of the corner of my eye.  I ended up spending my lunch hour literally chasing rainbows, trying to shoot them with my point-and-shoot through my polarized sunglasses, while I was driving.  They didn't come out as I had hoped but I saw this as I drove back down the driveway coming back to work.  I guess those ugly slabs of concrete are good for something after all...

An Extra Slow Day At Work

Sometimes I wonder why we don't have the same days off as the government or even the council we share the building with.  In the nine hours we were open we had a total of 14 transactions.  So I went out to my car and grabbed my camera and shot a co-worker.

An Unhappy Camper...

We're puppy sitting for the night a 10 week old lab. Zeb (pictured above) was not happy when he had to be on a tie-down as Truffle slept in his bed.  While I'm sure he enjoyed having a new play partner, I think he'll be happy when he could have his people and his bed back.
