Short week Long weekend
There are really only two seasons in Southern California
Wildfire season and mudslide season
Wildfire season and mudslide season
The yin and yang of the local weather patterns
The native plants, all of whom are intimately acquainted with the semi-regular Californian drought conditions bide their time in the sunshine. When the occasionally heavy rains of an El Nino year occur the plants to grow thick and tall in the steep canyons and arroyos, the aroma of the sage traveling for miles on the morning fog
But come summer time, months after the last measurable rainfall the stuff makes great kindling…
By Fall dry offshore winds and wildfires can burn to the sea
No stopping them
Months later, during a rainy year, rains run off the hills in sudden streams
We are watching
a few decades of an eons long crumbling
of the mountains into the sea
