Continuing our water theme for the week, these are the lovely green hills of Irvine right now. In the background is Saddleback Mountain rising out of the mist. The little orange dot at center left is the Great Park balloon. For locals, this picture was taken early in the morning from my favorite Saddleback viewing spot near the top of Turtle Rock.
TOMORROW: Silverado Creek.
