A lot of things have happened in the past few months. I want to share some of those things with you in my future posts, and I decided to start with my latest adventures.

For the Thanksgiving holiday my family drove to Las Vegas and spent a few days there. It was my first visit to this city, and to tell you the truth, it wasn’t my most favorite place. But I truly enjoyed the drive back home! 🙂 Southern California got hit by a storm, which caused very heavy rains in certain areas, and snow in others. We were lucky not to be in the storm, but we did see the aftermath of it while heading back from Nevada to California. Something that helped me create the following pictures was a wonderful traffic jam on the highway. Normally I wouldn’t consider a traffic jam wonderful, but since I was a passenger and I had my camera in my hands, I had a great time shooting the unusual scenery from the slow-moving car.

The following images were taken between Las Vegas and Irvine, CA, driving over the San Bernardino  Mountains. We got to see the remains of Rock-A-Hoola Waterpark near Barstow. And we were treated to a gorgeous sunset just before we arrived home. Enjoy the gorgeous, winter scenery! (Click on the first picture to enlarge it.)
