timeline....a couple of weeks ago. Fortunately, I had my camera with me while visiting Michaels...when I came out of the store, I was totally surprised to see our county mountains covered in snow, it's really a big deal in San Diego!!! I stood in the traffic, hoping no one was coming up behind me!! Couldn't see how well it looked in the camera so had to wait until I got it loaded up at home into the computer. I was so pleased....top picture a little enhanced with contrast. Then I wanted to see how it would look with some clouds, so time to play with some pictures of clouds I got last year. I think the mountain sure stands out better with the dark sky. But the clouds look blue too....I tried spraying them with a bit of white but then they really looked fake. Oh well, my photo manipulation skills are being tested. Just wanted to share....if you can use either picture, you're welcome to it.

Hey Ruth, that is a great picture of the snow-cap mountain. I went to school and worked in San Diego for about six years and I don't remember seeing that beautiful mountain in the distance. You must be out near LaMesa or ElCajon. Thanks for the picture.......caused me to remember the good times in SanDiego.

yes Duane, El Cajon (the box). If you didn't notice the mountains, probably because of the smog!!!

Want some more snow? You can have mine. Gosh, lady......out in the middle of traffic? Clearly, it's a big deal. I love the mountain in the distance. Thanks.
