Who Says It Never Rains in Southern California?

Who says it never rains in Southern California?

Who says it never rains in Southern California?  On Monday, I had the distinct pleasure of finally meeting face-to-face with a wonderful friend I met here in the Rain: Mary Yonkers.  And, let me tell ya...her profile photo doesn't do her justice.  She is even more beautiful in person.  She and her husband were at the tail end of a fabulous Alaskan cruise and I even got an exclusive sneak peek at the photos from her trip.  Thanks to fellow 'Rainer Russell Ray, Mary, her sweet husband Dave and I met up at The Beach House in Cardiff-by-the-Sea.  We got to have fabulous conversation, great food and wonderful views for a couple of hours.  Mary and I got along like old friends.  We all even laughed while watching a couple of people teach their dog how to surf.  Only in Southern California will you see a dog in a lifejacket successfully standing upright on a surfboard on a random Monday morning.  The dog did much better than I think I ever could.  However does a dog scrunch up its paws to hold onto the board?  As we said our goodbyes, I knew that I had Active Rain to thank for bringing me such a great new friend.  I think I'm going to have to make a trip back east to see Mary and Dave again.  I had such a wonderful time just having lunch.  Who knows what we could accomplish with more time on our hands?  Poor Dave will NEVER get a word in edgewise!

A Ride in the Clouds

On the way back home from my brother's wedding in Vegas over the weekend, we had to pass through Southern California's Cajon Pass.  I was so struck by the beauty of the skies that I had to grab my Flip camera and start taping.  This is what I saw:

The weather has been so beautiful in Southern California over the last few days.  I can't help but share.

Clouds Rise from the Ground?

Clouds rise from the ground? I always thought they were created in the skies above us. However, this guy seemed to rise up from the ground in a sort of mushroom formation. It was so big, I couldn't get a vantage point that would allow me to capture the whole thing in my lens. But, it was too amazing a formation to pass up a photo op.
