The weather and scenery has been changing quite dramatically over here in the last few weeks.
After a really long dry spell, the rain Gods were finally appeased! The skies were completely overcast for an entire week. I got a brief glimpse of open sky on my way home one evening. Just one small window!
But this was nothing like the monsoons in India. There was some hail in the valley, and a lot of snow on the mountains.
We went up to the mountains to get a closer look, but the snow had already started to melt. But it was still beeeeautiful!
The area in the foothills of the mountain was pretty rustic. A lot of ranches and horses there. Here's a nice little barn...
And this is a view of the Silicon Valley!
The valley also produces some GIANT lemons like these!
(Please do not ask me whether I am sure these are lemons. I wouldn't call them that if I didn't know, right?)
And boasts some amazing sunsets! Right in the middle of a bustling city!
Fresh air, clear blue skies, fluffy white clouds, views of emerald green mountains, almost like a painting...right in my parking lot!
Vintage Mercs!
And custom made bikes! This one is a "Big Dog". Had never heard of it until I saw one!
I have a few more pictures that I took today, but those will have to come in another post.

@prashant, usual trip bole to? I didn't go anywhere, these are all around my home and office. The snowy mountain was also about 15 minutes away.
@anoop, I knew you would LOVE the bike! Its brand new! My friend's brother owns it, they bought it a couple weeks ago. Even I was just standing there gawking at it for a while, ke yeh kyaa hai! I will ask him the specifics if you like :)
@sourish, yes, its nice here :)
@chirag, mast hai na? Some times it really feels like I am stepping out of my home and into a movie set!
Arey woh Harley nahi hai, its some custom made thing called "Big Dog".
Wonderful pictures!
Those lemons are huge and what is there in the valley that makes them that huge????
@Athira, LOL, those two in my hands are freaks of nature :) Not all were that big. It was a tree in my friend's backyard. They said one of the branches was grafted with this freak fruit, others were normal. You can see the tree behind me. Usi ped ke hain yeh lemons.
Breathtakingly beautiful!
