Yeah, makes me miss our cancelled trip to Laguna Beach last year. Someday!!

 

Man, could I ever use some weather like that
Just so darn tired of being cold here
I have this fear this summer is going to suck in the Northeast...
Those pics were beautiful!

 

I spent a month in the area between Carlsbad and San Diego long ago
If I had unlimited funds, that is exactly where I would wand to retire to
Just perfect down there for me, Mid and Northern CA is ok, but nothing like Southern CA

 

And now, to bring the saga of the pink purple wheels to a conclusion...

Just a few quick pics in the driveway
Car is not clean
And I just wanted to go for a drive...








I just love the look!

 

very nice, Doug!

 

Thanks
It was hard giving up the JDM 6-spoke wheels, but at least I have the most rare of the OEM AP2 17" wheels

 

Looks good, Doug.

 

Playing with the zoom lens on the camera. Need to learn how to use it, and figured I'd snap a few pics for the heck of it.

These two are for Patty, who likes to see flowers from different areas.

Took this one from my back deck, over the shrubs in our yard. This is in my neighbor's yard. I think it's a flowering tulip tree. The blooms will only last a week or two. Excuse the power lines.


My other neighbor's flowering shrub. Excuse the background...again just seeing how the lens works. Not sure if it's in the azalea family or a Japanese something or other Again, the flowers don't last long at all.


Obviously not the lens for flower close ups, but I wanted to see how it would come out.

 

it's amazing the difference even though your only 50 miles away.
None of our rhodies or azaleas are even budding yet.
we've got daffodils and forsythia, that's it.

 

Actually ours aren't either. Many of our shrubs are shaded, so it takes a couple more weeks. I was surprised to see we had warmer temps than Boston today. We still had 64 or so around 6:00 PM, Boston had 48!
