I'm visiting some relatives right now in Southern California, and we couldn't have picked a better (or worse) time to come down. It's beautiful right now, with all the plants in bloom. Particularly the fruit trees that aforementioned relatives own. I ate peaches fresh off the tree for dinner. They were amazing. Also, allergies.

Anyways, I got a picture of a solar pillar, which is an amazing atmospheric phenomenon, and apparently fairly rare. Unfortunately, I only had my phone on me, so it doesn't capture the full majesty, but it does a decent job.

Also, puppy. Because he was adorable when he was that tiny, and because he didn't get to come on this road trip. I miss him.
