We had an amazing sunset last night – one of the prettiest of the year. Of course, these iPhone photos don’t do it justice, but the battery in my good camera was completely dead. There was a bit of a storm coming through, as you can see by the distant rain and the clouds, but the temperature was perfect on my back deck as we watched the sunset.

Sunday had really strong winds and rain that managed to find its way into the house via the construction going on in the kitchen. This morning, however, gave us a lovely rainbow. While the ocean isn’t very visible in these photos, it is there in the fog and mist. We’re having a big storm in SoCal with high winds and horizontal rain, but on the occasion when it clears a bit, the ocean is beautiful with all the whitecaps! Saturday was another lovely day, so we walked up the hill and along a ridge with a fire road. Lots of plants and birds and many dog-walkers.
The weather today is magnificent in SoCal, so we took a walk around the neighborhood, along the path behind the house up to a ridge, then back down a trail into the valley south of our street.
I originally kept the Ocean Views category off the front page, because I had ambitions to put up a picture every day or two. Well, that hasn’t worked out, so I will let those posts show up on the front page. They will certainly not interfere with the web crawlers that grope their way through my site hourly. The ocean pictures posts should be infrequent enough that they won’t bother the one or two actual humans that visit the site looking for parallel computing stuff or Hiperwall history. The weather got a bit colder and foggier yesterday, but this morning, we had bright sunshine on top of the hill, while the fog settled in the valleys and on the ocean. Mid-morning, though, the fog rose in great billows, as these photos show. You can see Catalina Island in a couple of the pictures, and in one it is clear that the fog does not extend all the way there. The cloud/fog layer was right atop the ocean at dawn. We had a colorful and spectacular sunset. I’m including lots of images, because I think each has some slightly different appeal. On 10/10, as I drove home, the fog was rolling in, but as I climbed the hill, I emerged from the fog and clouds to see a beautiful sunset. |
