Office Park Ponds (2/3), originally uploaded by Kelson.
There are still a few empty lots in the Irvine Spectrum office park area, and the recent rains have turned them green…and for the first time I remember noticing, filled hollows with water to create temporary ponds. There were even a half-dozen ducks milling about while I took these pictures.
Update: I went back a month later, after the rains had stopped, and took some more photos.
Wow. Looks more like Florida than Irvine.
Yeah, the green is typical (if more intense than usual) for this time of year, but the water? I’m used to the ground being dry by afternoon if it stops raining in the morning!
