We went up to Sequoia National Park this weekend so I could take pictures of the fall leaves.  But, to my disappointment only a few leaves had turned, and believe it or not that was at the bottom.  Plus, it rained most of the day.  We need rain so badly down here in Southern California, only wish I could have had it follow us home.  Took a few pics in the rain, take a look:

This picture was taken at High Tide August 29 2014.   Storm was brewing out in the Pacific bringing us "Big" waves.
