Corner View Wednesday

This week's theme is The Great Outdoors. I live in Los Angeles, in the beautiful state of California. The weather here is sublime, almost all the time, and the colors technicolor. Really. I absolutely love that one can go to the beach, the mountains and the desert all in one day. Not a day goes by that I don't feel blessed to live in such a gorgeous climate. Because I've only just arrived back in LA after a business trip to Atlanta, GA, I'm late with my post and really only had the time to cull from my very large picture files. Here are some random shots of the great outdoors just minutes and at the most, two hours, from my backyard.

Here no words are necessary: the Hollywood hills:

And here's the reservoir in Hollywood, and don't tell anyone about this photo because evidently you're not allowed to take photos of the water supply...
!

And here's a delicious shot of Santa Monica:

with Malibu in the background and a typical site in the foreground:


some random flower shots that are just about everywhere all year round:

This might look pretty but it's actually the ominous light when there are fires burning somewhere nearby:

More random flowers:

And snow and mountains literally an hour or so away:
