That is bad babe, stay inside. I love seeing pics of your neighborhood though, such a pretty area.

 

Yeah, I can even smell the smoke in the house.

Literally the view from my window

 

 

 

The park in my home town

 

That bottom tree is a great looking tree, I know it's not one but it almost reminds me of a weeping willow.

 

I seem to have a size limit on attachments per post so I'm doing this in two posts.

 

Near where work

 

 

Great pictures. I've gone into the settings and changed the size limits so you shouldn't have that problem again.

Looks great. My uncle wants to build a waterfall and pond in his back yard for Koi fish. I think it gets too cold in Alexandria in the winter for Koi fish though.

Funny you should mention Koi fish. This is a little pond that we built in another part of Casa Kor which has Koi fish in it. They can survive the cold. The top freezes over in the winter. The trick is to put water plants in the pond. The fish feed on that in the winter when the pond ices over.

This pic isn't so good. We have a little bird sanctuary on another part of the grounds. This is a Pheasant with some new hatchlings. I had to take the pic from outside the cage. If I open the cage, Mama pheasant will attack to protect the babies. I'll try to get some better shots and post them.

Here is a clearer pic of the Mama pheasant and some of her chicks. I managed to open the door to the cage and snap a quick pic. As you can see, she spotted me and was just coming towards me when I got the cage closed again.... :yahoo:

:P I love where you live RC! It looks so cool and different

115º in the shade is pretty different but definitely not cool lol

 

 

:o Yeah but 90 at midnight is very nice when you can go out in a dress and sandals and sit outside having an iced coffee.

 

Thanks Corina :congrats:

Ok that actually does sound nice, but I'd need a jacket :P Can you believe I grew up in San Diego and I've never been to the beach at night? :congrats: That's messed up lol.

Awwww lol well I haven't been to the beach in a long time but I'm pretty sure I've been there at night. It's kind of freaky though cause that's the time that sharks get close to the shore. Ugh I get freaked out thinking about stuff under the water. lol

 

Well I don't know how I'd stand the 115 degrees but it looks nice and I like the style of the buildings lol. You must be part Vulcan RC to stand the heat, and that's a compliment btw :o

Roy, you're old enough to be Corina's father. That officially makes you one creepy dude. If she were your daughter I suspect you would beat the crap out of a nearly 40 year old man hitting on her.

The smoke from the west valley brush fire drifting over our house yesterday

How close to the ground is the smoke? Or is it just high in the air?
