We've gone up to Big Bear quite a few times this summer. I was so happy last week when we were driving up there and it started to rain. Big Bear really needs rain as the lake has shrunk quite a big and then Baldwin Lake, which is more of a seasonal lake now, hasn't had hardly any water in it for several years.
The first photos are driving through Big Bear where I only took a few photos out the front window as the rain started. Can't believe how good it felt to feel rain drops and the temp cool down.
The rest of the photos are from Baldwin Lake which other than not having water in the lake - I find it beautiful out there. Obviously if you live out there (about 20 minutes from Big Bear Lake) you love wide open spaces for horse and dark skies with amazing views of the stars. I grow more fond of Baldwin Lake area with each visit.
A lot of places in California have been getting a lot of rain while others are getting no rain. We haven't had rain, only monsoonal weather but higher up the mountain some roads have gotten washed out from the huge downpours. It's been a long humid summer where we are.
Wondering how your summer is going?
