Winter in the hills, and spring in the valley...

It's still winter up in the hills nearby, and the skiers and boarders love it....

While across the street in the next block, an old fence that was completely covered in wonderful shrubbery and vines is coming down. It won't be the same without that mass of color we saw each spring as those vines and shrubs came into bloom in various shades of red.

And this is another look at the hills, as they slowly emerge from the clouds.
