Good morning fr #Pasadena. ☁️ & 19°c (66°F) forecast. 🌧️ is done & now removed from forecast at least for now 😃 What strange, but wonderfully cool weather we’re having in SoCal this year.

Pic: #StrelitziaNicolai aka #GiantBirdsOfParadise in bloom as I walk to my car on Altadena’s #ChristmasTreeLane back fr Pride festivities. GBOP are rarely this well maintained so this shows they can be neat. Are probably growing less aggressively fr all the shade from the deodar trees there #MastodonGardening

#JoinIn just walked along and on #ChristmasTreeLane as the lights came on for the evening.

Passed other walkers; we greeted one another saying, #MerryChristmas! A happy phenom.

A slightly uncanny feeling about the evening as we’ve got a warm spell in Southern California and the local thermometer touched the 80° F mark for a bit today. We’ve had cold here recently and I know there’s a great cold snap in other parts of the country.

Wishing all safe and well, and to all a good night.

Re last boost: I’ve never seen the tap-dancing trees before (maybe cause Thompson is so crowded it feels claustrophobic?) #alameda #ChristmastreeLane

#ChristmasTreeLane is now lit! #Altadena

#ChristmasTreeLane lighting ceremony tonight in #Altadena, after a hiatus because of Covid. Also tonight, #rain. I keep looking at the hour-by-hour forecast. Ceremony at 6, before it starts really coming down. #CAwx
