How about some pics from a scenic or historical area in your neck of the woods.


Here is a slideshow of our State flowers...

Looks so pristine, I'll bet you hear frogs all night long there. :)

Reminds me of the lake I grew up on.

Here is a whole 'nuther Social controversy. I personally think Sunsets over the water are much more exciting. Try that in Texas. Maybe this is Geography controversy, come to think of it . . :)

Well here's one over Lake Havasu, so that can't be too controversial . . .

There are so many frogs its like white noise. We also hear BIG fish rolling and jumping. To those who have not been there before and sit out by the fire at night it startles them.

First big snowstorm of any season in L.A. This shot was taken a block from my house. That's 10,080 ft. Mount Baldy (AKA Mount San Antonio) and some more of the San Gabriel Mountains that ring Los Angeles (and are the reason for our smog . . .) I guess you can't have everything.

I used to have almost the same view of Baldy when I lived in Pomona a few years ago.

QC, that's Antelope Canyon. Just downstream from Navajo Canyon if you know where that is.

Shoot, that's almost right at Antelope Marina, duh, jeez, missed that. I was trying to get outta Dodge at that point, beginning and end of the trip. Yup, dang, oops. Is Navajo worth the long trip up? Looks like it.
