2017 CROSS-COUNTRY ROAD TRIP - RANDOM PHOTO - CALIFORNIA


This is another photo taken from the passenger side with my iPad.  We weren't moving along as fast this time.  Our drive took us along the Pacific Coast Highway.  There has been an unusual amount of rain in California and this is the result.  In all the years we lived in California, I have never seen it like this.

Thanks for looking and
have a great day!

    1. Gregg and I are amazed at the quality of photos from the iPad Sandra. It takes better photos than both our cameras combined. People have said they can be cumbersome to carry but I carry it in my napsack and it hardly seems a bother at all, especially as I know what the results will be.

    1. Hi Eileen, the rain is the key. They have even shared satellite imagery of California and its wildflowers. Happy day and week to you also :)

  13. Hi Denise and your still travelling on, I hadn't realised that California had suffered such a dry period, love the colours on the hillside and the satellite image is stunning. All the best. John

    1. Thank you John. Yes CA has had quite a dry spell and now, with all the rain, a road we were traveling on was blocked by a police car, because a bridge had collapsed and also had mud slides. We only found out when we asked a waitress about a certain place we wanted to visit. We saw our place but had to backtrack several miles to get back up on a freeway.
