California between storms

This rain we've been getting has been so good for us. The hills have been brown too long! Now, after a week of on-again, off-again rain showers, things are greening up and it's quite spectacular. The picture of the tree was taken in Santiago Canyon--one of the sites of the major fires late last year. You can see that the bottom of it got scorched by the fires. I love the contrast the burned part makes with the in-coming green of the grass...yet another testament to God's healing power.OK, so I'm on my way home and round a corner only to be struck by the majesty of the snow-covered mountains in the distance. Wow! I didn't get a picture of it, but a little further down the road, looking in the other direction, you could see Catalina Island in the distance. What a beautiful day!
