Over the last few days, we actually got some rain here in Northern California. It wasn't a lot, but it was enough to water the plants and replenish the snow in the Sierras. We still need much more, though, so send it our way. Today, however, the rain skipped over us, but we were fortunate enough to see spectacular cloud formations left behind by the storm that passed through earlier. Although the sun peeked through the clouds periodically, it remained quite cold. Not to waste the day away indoors, one of my travel buddies and I decided to take a brisk walk around Lafayette Reservoir, where there is a lovely loop road about three miles long. You can also go fishing on the lake, rent rowboats or paddleboats, and have picnics. It's the perfect spot to enjoy the California sunshine, and that's exactly what people were doing. Here are a few images from our afternoon walk...

View with a water tower was just brilliant. I love it! Sun breaking through was great too. Mt.Diablo sounds like a fun place to hang out.
Beautiful. The images also reminded me of Lake Chabot. The tranquility, views along the trail, boats, ducks, reeds...
