I did spend some time after lunch on my drive home taking some photos, particularly down by the covered bridge in one of the harder hit neighborhoods. > I"m a weather channel watcher and have been thinking about you and other > friends I have in the area... worried a bit about someone in Walnut Creek who > is not in such good shape health wise that hasn't answered my emails.. > > stay safe. > ann > > On 1/10/2023 2:25 AM, Larry Colen wrote: >> I actually did use my Pentaxes to get some photos of the weather fun we've >> been having.
