I was a few minutes late for the beautiful pink and purple clouds of sunset. This was taken hours before 3 inches of pea sized hail left a white blanket on the foothills.

The Cypress trees are about 8 miles from the peak of the hill, as the crow flies.

In the Happy Endings photo essay.

Those cypress trees make a perfect silhouette -- I love their strong sharp geometry against the softness of the sky.
