It’s a new year and time to get out and take photos!

California is finally getting some much needed rain this week and I’m hoping to get some nice photos along the coast. The weather forecast is calling for about three or four days worth of rain, so a clearing storm at the end of the week might provide the best photo opportunities. I’m keeping my fingers cross and going to really enjoy this weather.

Have a great week everyone!
