Storm Coming

The weatherman says a storm is coming. Clouds have been gathering for a day or two.


The sailors have tethered their boats and lowered their sails at Ventura Harbor.

But the surfers know that the surf's up and stay out on the waves as long as possible.

We're hoping for rain.

Oh wow! These are gorgeous! Willow, dear... you MAY join in my photo challenge next week -- but we do TWO letters each week - so please come prepared with C + D ... and IF you so desire you may catch up with A + B also! Hootin' Anni is going to be doing that too! (you know, I am very easy - it's really all about FUN!)

So beautiful! I would welcome a storm right now so we could get rid of this horrible inversion we have had for the last 2 weeks.

Love your pictures. The sunrises and sunsets have been particularly colorful lately.

We're hoping for rain too and have had some light drizzle so far.

I love 'reading' clouds. The clouds in these photos are announcing loud and clear that a storm is headed your way. Stay dry, stay safe!

Beautiful photos, Mumsy! Love the ones of the surfers and the clouds!! Down here is the first place Hubby has lived where they give surf reports on the radio every morning. He still gets excited about it. :o)
