A break in the rain

We're into our second full day of nearly non-stop rain. Not that it never rains here in southern California — it just doesn't usually rain so continuously for so long. So when it stopped raining this afternoon for a short time, I grabbed the leash and the dog and went for a walk. I was struck by the fall leaves — still colorful, but now a bit soggy.

We didn't go too far though. The streets were so filled with water, we were stuck on our own block.
