On the vernal equinox

We got some heavy rain here in the Bay Area over the weekend. Today, fortunately, I had a fairly dry commute home. Towards the end of my long drive I stopped and grabbed this shot of the tail end of the storm as it passed over Sonoma County. The body of water is not a lake, but a large vernal pool swollen by the rain.
