I thought I wouldn’t be doing my New Year’s tradition this year, given the rain that was in our forecast for yesterday and today. But it cleared up at midday and I was able to take my walk. Compared to last year’s image, it was nice seeing patches of clear skies and a bit of sun, after the dreary storm we just had. Could that symbolize something for this year? We shall see.
My New Year’s tradition is walking up the Oakvale Road overpass in Walnut Creek to get a good view of my hometown and beyond. I posted similar pics the past two years, and, given the uncertainty I have going into this year, it’s fitting that it’s cloudy today.
I did this a year ago, and, if time/weather permits, this may become a New Year’s tradition! And after all the rain we’ve had, oh how I miss a clear, sunny sky.
I was supposed to post this yesterday. Then my place got some snow–something I haven’t seen up close in years—and I got fascinated, to say the least.
Another weekend has begun for many, and while I have to wait till Sunday night for my weekend to start, I can always look back at how I spent last weekend. If you’ve been following me on my Twitter or Instagram, you’d know I spent President’s Day weekend in the stunning seaside city that is Santa Cruz. I shared a few pics there, but I got plenty more here after the jump.
Who needs to drive up to Tahoe when I can hike up a hill near home and see snow?
