After seven days! The rain finally stopped and x-mas appeared. Scenes of LA/Orange County at the holiday

Settling in for the LA winter, everything here looks new to me.

When the rain finally stopped in Pasadena, huge wind-torn palm fronds splayed themselves along the streets.

Even though it was raining in Orange County Christmas night,
it arrived after a two day reprieve so we could bear it.

Eucalyptus tree? Bark like concrete

So LA!
