1. Love the Rainbow!

And your other beautiful pics! Thanks! :thumbsup:

Just hope you folks won't go through much more then you already have w/this wacky weather!

Sending good vibes your way (just in case) :hug:

5. My dear Crystal Clarity!

I was really happy to capture that!

The pond had overflowed its banks, and I wanted to show that too...

I think the worst of the rain is done, now.

Thanks, sweetie!

:hug:

2. Beautiful as always,Peg.

My sis and her family are going to San Diego. Is the weather as bad as they are saying?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

6. My dear Swede!

Aw, thanks...

I'm not sure about San Diego...

The storm is clearing out here, so I suspect (but I don't know for sure) that things won't be too bad down there either...

[BrklynLiberal]

3. Wow. Fantastic contrast...

[CaliforniaPeggy]

7. I thank you, my dear BrklynLiberal...

I did do some color adjustment...shhhh...

9. I do hope you are staying out of harm's way Miss Peg

That bench in the high water tells me you guys are getting trounced. Is it easing up yet, or expected to?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

11. My dear jotsy!

We are indeed staying far away from any flooding!

Things are expected to ease up any day now...:P

Thanks for coming by!

13. Southern California...

In the town of Manhattan Beach...

[OrwellwasRight]

15. I didn't know there were any ponds in Manhattan Beach.

Learn something new every day. Thanks for posting.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

16. You're welcome!

It's Polliwog Park...

[OrwellwasRight]

[GalleryGod]

20. Thought So...

Nice memory attached there..:pals:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

21. My dear GalleryGod!

How nice to see you today!

It IS a great park.......even when the pond has risen beyond its borders...

And BTW...you just passed 10,000 posts!

Congrats, sweetie!

12. Great pix!

I think a lot of that moisture got lost on it's way to Canyon Country because while heavy it's not been as bad as in years past. I see the water done riz near ya. If it's clear tomorrow morning like they say I hope to get in a ride to the Rock. Gonna take it slow for the sand that will certainly be on the two-lanes up here.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

14. My dear Gold Metal Flake!

Thanks, sweetie!

Had fun taking them...

Yeah, there's a lot of dirt out where it's not supposed to be...

Have fun, but stay safe!

18. Great shots Peggy!

Love the last one. Very surreal - especially since I know it's SoCal. Thanks for sharing them. :loveya:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

19. My dear bluesbassman!

Aw, thanks, sweetie!

I really needed to get out of the house, and when I saw the rainbow from my study, I knew I was going!

That last one is one of my favorites, too.

We are normally so damn dry...that to see a park bench sitting in the water......well, it doesn't happen too often!

:hug:

22. The ducks look very happy with their new temporary swimming hole

thanks!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

23. My dear lunatica!

Ah, yes indeed...they are very happy!

The swimming hole is always there....it's just not always this big, lol!

Thanks for coming by, sweetie...

25. My dear MiddleFingerMom!

LOL!

When I saw that bench, I knew I had to photograph it. It just says it all.

I love your name for it!

Thanks, sweetie...

26. hey, we saw the same rainbow....

here in century city - everyone went running to the window..... such a rare treat here (actually we saw 2 yesterday, one earlier in the afternoon when the sun peeked out for a few minutes, then this awesome one where the colors were so incredibly vibrant)

[CaliforniaPeggy]

27. My dear IcyPeas!

How cool!

Another DU'er not far away...

It was such a great rainbow, wasn't it? When I first spotted it, out of my study window, it was a complete arch...but they don't last...

Thanks for stopping by!

:hi:

28. Where is this green oasis? nt

[CaliforniaPeggy]

29. Southern California...

Manhattan Beach...

That's where!

[Forkboy]

30. Awesome pics, and the contrast is killing me.

I left my house today, and I have two flights of stairs from my yard to the street. The yard itself is nice, a dusting of snow and ice to make things look pretty, but I got to the street and to my left was the remains of a dead skunk that has been there for three weeks (just a pelt at this point), and to my right was a used condom (which, considering the temps here, makes me appreciate the participant's spirit, if nothing else...).

Needless to say, I want my rainbows and lakes!!!! :)

[CaliforniaPeggy]

31. My dear Forkboy!

That IS quite a contrast! Skunk pelts and a used condom? :scared:

I have never seen such things in my street!

Alas, the rainbow is gone, but it will live on in my picture...

The park is still largely underwater, and it will be for some days...

Thanks, sweetie!

:hi:

[Forkboy]

32. It's like The Road Warrior out East!

;)

33. WOW Pollywog Park is off the hook!!!

Alley mentioned that it occasionally over flows it's banks, but I'll have to stroll down there an take a look for myself.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

34. We saw a photo in the LA Times...

And that got me over there...

The city's pumping, but this is going to take some time...

Thanks for coming by, my dear denbot!

:hi:
