The weather has been amazingly clear here, but of course we need rain.  Lake Silverwood is in the upper right of this photo and Lake Gregory is on the left.

There are tiny patches of snow left here and there in the colder, shadier spots.

The crystal clear air makes for great views, though.  One can see for a hundred miles into the distance.  (Sorry about the light streak in this photo, it was an errant sun ray).

That’s Mt. San Gorgonio on the left capped with snow in San Bernardino County and in the far distance is Mt. San Jacinto way over by Palm Springs in Riverside County.

Light and Shadow

San Gorgonio and the eastern end of the San Bernardino valley in light and shadow and rain.  Yes, it finally rained in Southern California!  Up here in the mountains we received a little over two inches of the precious water drops.  The rain was accompanied by the most intense, and longest, thunderstorm I've ever experienced.  It sounded like it was right over us, and it lasted for over six hours!  Happily, the lightening didn't start any fires.
