As the storm cleared, late afternoon.
Curved rainbow against a clearing sky, blue peeking through, after heavy rain. Sunlight hits the avocado treetops as it sets.

The setting sun hits the treetops.

Charming, rakish, would not say no to some cheddar cheese.
A tan dog with a black muzzle reclines on his bed, head up, staring at me. His left ear is raised at a rakish angle and his slightly exposed lower teeth give the impression of a smile.

Very dramatic buildup to...three minutes of rain.
Fluffy white and grey rain clouds building up against a blue sky as the sun sets. The trees are in heavy shadow. Light and dark grey rain clouds against a blue sky, with a tinge of pink from the sunset. White and grey daubs of rain clouds against a blue sky.

Majestic feather drying, post rain.
A turkey vulture is perched atop a pole, entire wingspan extended to dry its feathers post rain storm. Blue sky is beginning to peek through the heavy clouds. Its wings are very huge, and head very tiny but distinguished. A turkey vulture sits atop a pole with its wings fully extended to dry after a rainstorm. Heavy dark clouds are breaking up above.

A grey wheel barrow sits on green grass in the sunlight. It contains a variety of colors and sizes of pumpkins, deep reddish orange, yellow, green, and pale orange. A large tan dog with a black muzzle lies on green grass with a lemon resting between his front legs. He has just ripped it off of a nearby tree. His name is Sully, and he is a rascal. A variety of sizes and colors of pumpkins rest on green grass. Deep orange red, green, yellowish orange. Also pictured on the top right is a lemon, recently stolen.

Success!
A large tan colored dog with a black muzzle stands on gravel next to a potted apple tree. He plans to rip an apple off of the tree and feels no one will notice. The same large tan colored dog has, indeed, ripped an apple off of the tree, and has placed it on the green grass, regarding it thoughtfully. A large tan dog with a black muzzle lies on green grass, his stolen apple placed carefully next to his front paws. He has a very pleased expression on his face as he surveys the yard.

Extremely subtle, intricately plotted apple thievery.
A large tan colored dog with a black muzzle stands on gravel next to a potted apple tree, pretending to stare at some birds. He is about to rip an apple off of the tree and run off with it in his mouth, convinced no one has noticed.

Summerland, mid morning.
Sunny morning, blue sky with a few clouds. Some older houses, a variety of trees, cars parked on a small hill. The Los Padres mountains peek through in the background.

"We're here to look at the permits."
Two large dogs, one grey and one brown stand next to one another in a room that is in the process of being painted white. They are looking at me distainfully, wondering why their breakfast is 37 seconds late.

Counterintuitively popular (and terrifying) paragliding spot above the 101.

On a (kind of) clear day you can see forever- or at least two Channel Islands.
Santa Cruz and Anacapa.
