Seda: Happens all the time here, too. It's a fact of our climate. This was a lucky one, though.

Louis: Likewise.

Stef: Another fact of our climate--vintage cars remain well-preserved.

OK, I will Petrea. William is so talented, I love his work.
I'm sketching vehicles at the moment all around Altadena, since I arrived in America, I always wanted to do this long skecthbbok with only weird American cars, trucks... when I was a kid in France I was in love with American cars, the old stuff, so now that I'm here, I'm so excited everyday to see vintage chevrolet, cadillac...

Petrea -Louis is always happy to see you, no matter where! :-)

This happens all the time in Turkey! Especially in our Mediterranean region. It is very sad to see a beautiful place burn down like this.

Oh, Jim, that would be nice. But the desert has its beauties, green and otherwise.

Louis la Vache: I had no idea you and Tomate had such history. Well, I discovered Paris Daily Photo on my own, but it was via that very blog that I discovered Tomate Farcie and Louis la Vache, so yes, we do get around!

Bonsoir, Petrea! So from Paris to Appleton to Pasadena to the SF Bay Area! We get around, n'est-ce-pas?

Indeed, Louis la Vache has the blog bug:
"The Frog Blog of Louis la Vache"
http://louislavache.blogspot.com
"Les Recettes de Louis la Vache"
http://louisrecettes.blogspot.com
"San Francisco Bay Daily Photo"
http://bayphoto.blogspot.com

We can blame it on Eric and Tomate Farcie! (Actually, Tomate Farcie should be first on that list - Louis was sitting with his lap Mac in an espresso shop in Oakland before repotting himself to la belle France. Tomate Farcie was sitting next to Louis with her Help-Bill-Gates-Get-Richer laptop. A blog discussion ensued, and "The Frog Blog" was born right there, the day before Louis left for Paris. It was via Tomate Farcie that Louis discovered Paris Daily Photo......

I like the comparison. Maybe you will get lucky this year and it stay green a bit longer than normal.

Hi Abraham: You may have heard of fires in Malibu, followed by rain and mudslides. Those are the conditions we get here. So we're happy when the growth comes in, preventing those slides. It can be more than erosion; it can be loss of homes and lives.

Jeremiah: Thanks for the link! Much appreciated.

Stef: I used to live up there and walk the trail almost every day. I'm a little jealous(!) Let me know if you've sketched anything I photograph, so I can link to you. I've already linked to William Wray (see 3/14/08).

Tall Gary: Why did I think you lived in Europe? It's your erudition. I have a Rhetoric B.A., but I wouldn't have noticed those squealing hillocks.

Claire: I recognized the Midwest in there, though!

Rats. And I was just explaining dangling participles to someone recently. Make that: "...they almost invite us to roll down their flanks while we squeal with childish glee." But then again, if the hills are ticklish...

Ah, the verdant wonder of our Southern California hills in March (he says not entirely with sarcasm). And then when the mustard blooms the hills look so velvety soft that they almost invite us to roll down their flanks squealing with childish glee. But, as you say Petrea, soon enough they will be back to their brown and scratchy selves.

We live just at the top of lake, and we discovered the trails when we moved in 4 months ago, I see this patch each time we hike up...lovely hike, and lovely area!

I suppose it would be nice if somehow grass or something would grow there to hold back the soil from washing away in a rain storm.

Have a good week.
