Experiencing an East Bay December

Late fall and early winter bring the chance of rain - much needed here - and we got some.  The actual amount was probably around 5 inches up here in the hills.  We've learned that the local birds don't mind the rain.






We've also learned that the season generates some wonderful views of the mists, clouds, sunrises and sunsets. 

More than just mist

A blazing late afternoon


A canyon sunrise
 

As the sun sinks slowly into the clouds



The day after the December 11 rain storm.
The hills are turning green aain.

What do you see in the clouds?

Sure looks like a face to me...



We've started decorating.  

The greens are from one of our huckleberry bushs - definitely a California thing.

Another phase of the door finishing project done - stripping off what was left of the old varnish.


 
Of plants and animals:

A deer knocked this bloom off one of our succulents

Ziggy and Sunny escape from the balcony to try out the roof over the front door.
