Thought of you yesterday when I saw the news about all the rain out your way. Keep dry!

Those pictures give me shivers and make me want to cuddle on the couch with a blanket and a good book!

Those pictures give me shivers and make me want to cuddle on the couch with a buxom blonde and a snuggie. My T13 is up and it is photo related. Stop by if you get a chance.

I can feel the wind in those palm trees and the water on those streets. I bet you are happy to stay inside for a while! But thanks for taking those pictures before you got home == and for sharing them.

Those are very detailed pics. Very cool. I can almost feel the rain & wind looking at them. Hope it is subsiding & you are staying safe & dry.

Great shots for the weather you are having! I hope it leaves soon with a return to “sunny” Caliornia skies and no more damage!

I guess you are as wet as I am we’ll be soggy before we’re done! Stay safe!

Ah, the rain did come, didn’t it? Looks as though it’s windy, too! We’re getting a bit of a break and I’ll take whatever I can get! Great shots for the day! Have a great weekend and stay dry!

Those are certainly some very rainy views but that last one holds promise of better skies to come!
Have a wonderful weekend!

Now those are quite different views from the gorgeous blue skies you so often share with us! Well, we need the water, don’t we! Stay warm, dry, and safe.

Except the fact that we have no palm trees but others, the weather looks the same over here except it’s probably much colder !

Wow! Very good pictures. It looks like you have more than one lemon tree. Of course I’m still focused on that! Dumpsters down, plants fallen over! I’ve been clicking on the collage to get better looks, but they keep going away and others coming up, I can’t figure out how to work that little flyover photo box! What a splendid post!

I can’t believe all the rain you’ve been getting in your part of the country. I hope you are staying dry. You got some great shots in your collage.

Storyteller, we’re having the same kind of weather you show in your photos! You were brave to go riding to take pictures! Wonderful pictures! 🙂

That was some serious wind and rain. It was nice to see some blue afterward. I loved the picture of the rain on the window.

Those are great rainy day shots. I like all of them and a great capture of the bird in flight.
