• Santa Barbara Sunset -- 10/10/16

  Last weekend was another trip to Santa Barbara.  There was a mini-reunion of my high school class -- a beach party pot-luck lunch.  The next few posts are of photos taken during that trip.  On Monday and Tuesday, there were magnificent sunsets as the tails of faraway storms blew by Santa Barbara -- I didn't have the camera with me on Monday, but Tuesday was pretty spectacular!  These shots were all taken from the back yard of the home where I stayed.

  

  

  

  

     

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  The storm attached to these clouds brought no rain to the Santa Barbara area or further south, but they did leave some rain farther north and even some snow on the Sierra Nevada mountains.  That's exciting news, as it will lay some groundwork for a snowpack on the mountains which will hopefully be sufficient to supply some water to Southern California next summer.  At this point, we have still not seen any rain in Southern California, although we have had a few misty mornings -- they say that 10 days of heavy fog can be equivalent to an inch of rain, so we are all looking forward to a few more days of misty mornings before it turns hot again at the end of the coming week.
