Thanks Rich. The conditions you captured in your photos are why we moved to California. We visited my wife's parents in San Diego for Christmas of 1974 or 1975 and because we spent the entire week in shorts I was sold. We moved there in early 1976 and our eldest (daughter Lisa) was born there in April.

Funny story about that vacation: One day we went to the beach and I waded out to about waist high depth. This was shortly after we saw the move Jaws. When a piece of seaweed wrapped around my legs I was sure I was gonna die right then and there.

Thanks Grant.

I neglected to post in a recent Daily how much I liked your photos; one was of coaxing color out of a winterscape, and one or two others struck me as exceptionally delicate and fine jobs of capturing winter's beauty.

Light on-and-off rain here today and it'll probably continue until Friday. Further north, the "atmospheric river" (a narrow band of fairly strong winds starting in California and continuing across the country) is expected to drop a lot of winter precipitation as it heads eastward. Rich and Lorell, it looks like the worst of that may be south of you - I hope so.
