Western Sky

Sunset in Glendale

With the winter, there are more clouds in the sky and conditions that contribute to magnificent sunsets with such vibrant color. Where we live, we never get an unobstructed view, but the color seeps in between tree branches and utility poles and the chimneys of neighbors' houses.

Holiday Appreciation and Gratitude

Christmas Through A Wine Glass

Preparing for the holidays. This is the first year in a while that I can assemble the tree (we use a fake, pre-lit tree so we don't have to kill any trees) and decorate it earlier than a few days before Christmas because I'm under the gun to finish academic papers. It's been a difficult year for us, as it has been for many people, but we're still very fortunate and very grateful.
