Freezing

Yesterday at the La Brea Tar Pits the high was a balmy 59°.

Before we left, we stopped by the gift shop. While waiting to checkout, I overheard:

Store Clerk
: "It's freezing out there, you really have to bundle up."
Patron: "Yeah, that's why I'm wearing my coat."

Yes, yes, I know: Californians can be such wimps. I was almost embarrassed.
Maybe I should have shown the pictures of the flowers and blossoms I had taken minutes earlier:

  1. Hey, it's all relative! LoL, I have to admit that yesterday I was a little regretful that I didn't have a coat, because to me, it did feel cold - but that's what happens when the norm is in the mid-70s. By the end of my Utah trip in December, I'd acclimated and was fine in shirtsleeves in sub-40s.

  2. Well I'm officially jealous of your new camera. And I'm sorry to say that my only comment is... you suck! I love the shallow depth of field you used, especially in the photo of the pink never bloomed blossom. NICE!!!

  3. I always think this is funny. Last week Michigan and California hit the same temperature, somewhere in the high 50s. My parents were bundling up and turning up the heat, and I was taking off my winter coat and walking my dog in short sleeves!

  4. Those people have obviously never been to Kansas. I didn't know cold until I got here.
