A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood - Sunday 12/17/2006

You probably can't see it, but this pine cone--from the tree in our front yard--has frost on it. It's been coooold here, for SoCal. We usually get down below freezing a few times up here at about 3,500 feet, but it's come early and often this year.




Frost on the strip of grass along the road leading out of our neighborhood. Hydra had more faith than I did that this photo would come out all right! Glad he did.




View from the viewpoint off the 14 North, just before Palmdale--about 10 miles from our house. I was trying to show the snow on the mountains beyond, but the aquaduct and reservoir in the foreground kind of stole their thunder, huh?


Below: Bird alert! Mltt! Avert your eyes!




Just liked the look of this starling on a shopping cart. There were a couple of others goofing around inside another cart, but the shot just didn't work out.
