Cloudy days offer contrast. There aren't many days here, so I appreciate the ones I get. This statement will definitely cause folks in Portland, Seattle, and other parts of the world to roll their eyes hard. I occasionally feel envious of artists who can create sorrowful pieces in response to the moody weather. Santa Barbara has beautiful weather for the majority of the year.

Would I trade it? Ehh.. :)

For several weeks, I had an obsession with birds in power lines. I couldn't help but look upward. They were just hanging around with their friends, getting a bird's-eye perspective of the world.
