tis the season

Just a couple views from here for today. The top two show the fires in Malibu. Funny thing is: today was a really beautiful day. When I got up I looked out the front window and noticed how clear it was, except for this haze out toward Malibu. I thought to myself "You'd think there were fires again or something." It wasn't until I saw later on Yahoo News that, sure enough, there were. These pics are from later in the afternoon. The lower ones are also a sign of the season. High tide can bring the waves all the way up to the top of the beach, making for some crazy conditions in really rough storms. Today, it just created sandbars with pockets of water that never seemed to dry out - showing just how far up the water had come. Just some sights of Winter in SoCal.
