the calm before the storm

i took this photo on sunday afternoon - just before the rain started to fall. we've had an almost steady stream of rain since then. sometimes just a faint mist, sometimes a heavy downpour. rain is in the schedule for most of the rest of this week. while this kind of thing is normal in other parts of the country, here in the san gabriel valley we're hoping our mountains don't come sliding down into town - especially after this summer's station fire.

hope you're all staying safe and dry in pasadena!
