- Storm water pond: Now with added storm water!
The new detention pond finally got a chance to collect some stormwater for a day. It actually looks pretty nice when filled and viewed in sunlight.
- Rain in the Office Pool
An unusual late-spring rainstorm gave me the chance to see the neighboring building’s stormwater pool with some actual water in it.
- Musings on LA, Light Pollution, and Water Management
Why it’s so hard to see the stars at night in Los Angeles, and some ways we might be able to save water by changing landscaping and flood control tactics.
- Old Town Irvine After the Storm
Well, technically, during a lull in the storm. The clouds were moving very fast, with light and shadow moving over the empty fields and office parks, and I waited several minutes for the sun to play over this scene. I particularly liked the contrast of the dead brown tumbleweeds scattered around the bright green meadow. […]
- Sun Shower
This afternoon I found myself entertaining the notion that Orange County, California had somehow switched places with Orange County, Florida. The weather was certainly more typical for Florida in July than California. It was 90 degrees and sunny when I left the office a little after 6:00 pm, though the eastern half of the sky […]
- Stars & Lightning with Cirque du Soleil
A trip to see Kooza near a giant orange balloon, during a thunderstorm.
- Unexpected Shower
Bad idea of the day: I’ll be back before the rain starts again. No need to bring my umbrella.
- Midday Thunderstorm & Rainbow
Going to lunch in a thunderstorm, plus a photo of the rainbow at the end…at (appropriately enough), the Irvine Spectrum.
- Rain
Rain (when we get it) is usually silent four stories above ground, but today gusts of wind have been spattering it against the windows.
- Monday Morning
I’m not sure light drizzle counts as “wind and rain,” but since I’d like to have water next year, I’ll take what I can get. (We did finally get some later in the day.) You know you need coffee when you bring your travel mug from home and leave it in the car.
- Rain!
Rain! Walked out the door this morning and saw clear blue sky, so I wasn’t convinced… but RAIN! (We seriously need it.) *sigh* Google maps informs me that my usual route home is solid red. Rush hour + OMGWTF water from sky! Surface streets it is.
- Well, that was a wash
I’ve been putting off getting my car washed for several weeks. Over the weekend, I decided I was going to take it to a nearby car wash Monday morning before work. So I did. It was sunny and clear, with a few clouds off to the south that had made for a very nice sunrise […]
- Green and Brown
While driving to work this morning, I looked off to the left and saw this beautiful view of fluffy white clouds hugging the mountains, and bright sunlight on the patchy green hills.* When I got into work, I went straight for the corner conference room that has a view in that direction… but the clouds […]
- Yes, it does rain in L.A.
An intense deluge woke us up briefly around 5:00 this morning. I think I was awake enough to say “Damn!” and fall back asleep. It reminded me of something that’s been bugging me. I looked through the first few pages of Otherworld #2 in the comic store yesterday. As at the end of the first […]
