Oh, Fred, but I DO like your photo! My curiosity is piqued by those footprints in the snow. They stop suddenly and go through the railings...?
Beautiful! I love California. Is it just me or is California getting dryer and dryer? I remember as a kid (40 years ago) the grass in your area looked greener. Maybe just me. Same as in Lahina Hawaii...everything just looks dryer.
Did you notice my "grass"? We finally went with artificial turf. Our water bills have nearly been cut in half.It may seem hard to believe, but the current 30-year average annual rainfall in San Diego is actually higher than that of the previous 30-year period. But seldom do we have an 'average' rainfall year. We often get very dry years interspersed with very wet years. Last year was a very wet year.
Our area doesn't look as green as it used to because people here are conserving water much more than they used to. Water is also expensive here.

Wow, you're in Minnesota, right? Having grown up there, I was struck by seeing green leaves in the background of your photos. I remember seeing only bare branches there by November. It doesn't even look cold, though I know darn well it is!The bird feeders were very busy today because it was 10 degrees outside.
Yes, I'm in the Twin Cities area. Unfortunately, our backyard is full of the invasive buckthorn trees, which are the last ones to lose their leaves. Since they're so easy to identify this time of year, I usually try to cut back as many as I can, but this year I've been too cold and lazy.Wow, you're in Minnesota, right?
