Dramatic day after the rain.

Winter began in Silver Lake on December 10, the first day I saw snow on this mountain. Mt Baldy? Someplace where people ski. I can only see this mountain a couple of months a year, because of smog in Glendale and the inland. (Smog in Glendale? Really?)

I keep wanting to learn how to snowshoe. I’d go there.

Snow touches this unknown mountain today.

I took this one today, new snow on a mountain 3 or 4 ranges away. I can see this mountain only a few days a year. Is it Mt. Wilson?

For the first three years I lived here, I thought that the white building with a cross was a church. I felt a little bit blessed. Then I found out it is part of Forest Lawn, and I felt a little bit the opposite. It’s a direct view from my kitchen window, after all. (Only it’s not the real Forest Lawn next to Griffith Park, as I visited that one, unfortunately, last year for the first time.) I don’t know why they split up a cemetery into two pieces.
