1.5 Miles from Economic Collapse
Apparently we are only 1 1/2 miles from a depression... someone needs to tell Obama
Mostly Dry Waterfall
This waterfall is usually dry but due to the recent rains, it had a bit of water in it.
Gibraltar Reservoir
As of last week this reservoir was almost full. It's rained an inch and a half since then (probably more in the mountains) so it is probably full right now.
La Cumbre Peak
I hiked to the top of the peak on the left RIGHT (without pines. I dont know my left from my right.). This point is about the halfway point, and the pines in the foreground are Coulter Pines growing at a lower than average elevation.
Tunnel Trail Area
Last week, I hiked the Tunnel Trail to the top of the mountains behind Santa Barbara. The trail you see here is actually NOT the tunnel trail.

First Blue Dicks
This is the first Blue Dicks (Dichelostemma capitatum) I've seen this year, found last week. There are lots more about to bloom. It looks like it could be a good wildflower year despite a dry January
Emo Sunset
It looks like I will be leaving Santa Barbara soon. In the short term I'll be back in Malibu, in the long term maybe Vermont, or maybe not.

February 5-7
As of 12:45 PM on Feb 7th, it has rained about 3.1 inches since the early morning of February 5. It is all very welcome rain, as it was a very dry January.
Potrero
"Potreros" are little meadows or open, moist areas in the mountains. This one is full of deer grass.
Snowstorm Building over Pine Mountain
This was in January... the mountain got a couple of inches of snow a few hours after this picture was taken.
