There's a short and sweet Southern California season that usually arrives between the first day of spring and concludes when summer evenings begin to cool.
Leaves don't gather in the eaves and a hint of snow in the air? Au contraire, not in Los Angeles, where snow is a no-go, especially during the sunny, short-sleeved days of April.
This season is known for its airy character and popcorn-scented breezes, and its main sight isn't a bird, flower, or type of weather: Rather, it is a giant screen, located outdoors, an eye-catching indicator that Outdoor Movie Season is beginning to bloom.
