Nothing but blue skies for July. We missed the rain in both LA and the Bay Area. Rumors are that a pretty nasty storm (thunder and lightening, etc.) blew through while we were basking in lovely weather that makes Southern California so popular.

This photo was taken over the beach in Santa Monica. Most of the rest of the sky was clear. These little clusters of cumulus clouds drifted to the east as we enjoyed the view of the water and pier to the west.
