I know. This image is way too similar to another one I posted last week. I just can't help it. Whenever I see those snow-kissed mountains I just want to jump up and down, squeal, break out the egg nog and start belting It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year.Southern California offers such a splendid holiday cornucopia: snowy mountains rising above warm beaches, autumn leaves falling on palm fronds and bougainvillea, shirtsleeve days drifting into fireplace nights. This place is never sure exactly what it wants to be... so it's everything, all at once. Sunbathe with snow in the distance? Sure! Share geography with neighbors who celebrate Eid, Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Wiccan Yule and Yalda? Absolutely! Somehow be both naughty and nice? Well... isn't everybody?

Beautiful,Lovely and fantastic shot !! Nice post !!
What a clear day! A touch of autumn color, a hint of winter snow... and a great vantage point of view!
The natural framing of the mountains by the evergreen and red tree on the left and the green-to-yellow on the right is PERFECT!!!
It IS the most wonderful time of the year. For one thing, a lot of the grumps go underground. This is a lovely picture. Thanks, Laurie.
Sigh...ain't SoCal great!!!
