Those willowy branches of the willow provide the most wonderful shade.

Love the bonsai and my father cultivates them.

And the smell of pine is a welcome relief as I climb into the mountains.

Wonderful choices so far.

Outta here for know. Keep the answers coming.

No matter how busy I am, i still think about her night and day. I went on vacation with a friend last month in northern california, and all I could do was to wish that my ex girlfriend would have been able to experience what I was experiencing with me.
I was at the sequoias, and because I know how much she loves nature, I coulndn’t hold my tears back.

She does have a lot of issues/problems, but I don’t really care because she’s a great person, with a great heart. She has been married twice, grew up with an abusive dad, was in a long term relationship with a guy whom she was in love madly, but had to break it off because he didn’t apreciat her. She is the first one to admit that she is broken, damaged, etc…… but i am not in a position to judge people based on their past. So my love was unconditional for her.

She told me that she doesn’t want me to love her, and that I have to move on.
But, how could she say those words when I have no doubt that she did love me in a romantic way???

She is now going out with her mother’s brother in law. This brother in law always had a crush on her, but she never liked him, until she went out salsa dancing with him.

Evidently he is latin like she is, and he has muscles, and he knows how to dance. That’s why she likes him.

Me, not being latin, not being able to salsa dance, not having muscles, was enough for her to fall out of love?

Please help, for I am really sad.

My ex girlfriend left me, and I can't stop missing her, am I mental? is a post from: Miranda Gardens Resort

Built, is a house of redwood and cedar
Filled with love,
Rich fertile soil lives.
Invaders cannot gain control.

A foundation is laid
Protection installed.
Grow and live.
Be all you choose to be.

Lovely, beautiful,
Thorns and all
A pleasure to behold
My Beautiful White Climbing Rose.

Reasons Why You Should Love the County of Carlsbad is a post from: Miranda Gardens Resort

Technorati Tags: Carlsbad, County, love, Reasons, Should

My husband and I bought this camera for our 35th anniversary because we wanted to take a driving tour through the redwood forests of California and the ocean along the Oregon coast. We figured the trip would be a warm up and review of what the camera could do. We are so pleased with the photos taken with this Canon Rebel TSi 12 Megapixel Camera. It came with an 18-55 mm lens and we purchased a 75-300 mm lens also. Neither of us are pro’s with a camera but I loved the feature that lets you take multiple pictures one after the other. We had also purchased a High-speed SD memory disk and were able to get fantastic photos of waves as they crest, curl, and crash on shore.

I was even able to get photos of sea gulls flying and with the larger lens they look wonderful. We also toured the lighthouses along the Oregon Coast and the camera took great pictures of those too, no mater what the distance was. I cannot wait to go on another whale watch cruise this summer here in Seattle. This time I think I will actually be able to capture the Orca pods and not have photos of the water only because my old camera took too long to focus before the picture would shoot. I was afraid that the bigger camera would be a pain to carry around but it really was not. Although bigger than my smaller digital camera, it is lightweight and was not really the problem I thought it would be. We both love this camera.

XSi Rebel – Canon Digital XSi Rebel Review

I received my XSi Rebel on April 28th, just two days before I went chaperoned an 8th grade trip to Washington DC. I used the camera for the first time in Washington and it took a bit of time to get used to the controls, but I managed to get some really good shots. I used the kit lens that is included with the camera, as well as my 70-300mm zoom lens and my 24-70mm lens (both Canon lenses) and I got some excellent photos.

I subsequently took this camera and lenses with me on a one week vacation to Orlando, Florida and I shot around 1200 photos, and I got lots of excellent shots. The colors are great, and its a big step up from the first generation Digital Rebel which I previously used.

Xsi Rebel – Love This Camera! is a post from: Miranda Gardens Resort

We won’t even bother with the obvious ones: California is absolutely full of theme parks. And let’s not waste time reviewing Disneyland and Six Flags. You don’t need a review to tell you whether your kids will love theme parks.

Rather, we’ll try to focus on the other California vacation spots kids love. It seems that, after the theme parks, California is full of vineyards which, let’s face it, bore the heck out of anyone under 21 (depending on how rebellious the teens are, that is). However, California has its share of family friendly spots where you won’t find anyone dressed as a cartoon character.

A Brief Disclaimer:

Keep in mind that none of these places are guaranteed to delight each and every kid in the world, as each kid has different tastes and interests, but we’ll try to provide enough variety that you can find something that seems custom tailored to what really gets your kids excited.

La Brea Tar Pits

What makes the La Brea Tar Pits and the attached museum so appealing to kids is the sheer dramatic entertainment value provided. More than just a bunch of dusty relics with plaques explaining where they came from, the museum is full of millennia old skeletons, animatronic displays, stuffed saber tooth tigers and audio video presentations on ancient life. You can even watch an archaeology team in progress on some days. It’s the closest you’ll get to a dinosaur theme park without any roller coasters.

Los Angeles County Art Museum

This one depends on the kids. Some kids would go nuts over an art museum while others would just go nuts with boredom. If your kids are the artsy types, the LA County Art Museum can really have a positive impact. The art is collected from all over the world and in the traditional styles, with very little in the way of abstract or modern art. Here you’ll find three stories of classic European and Asian sculptures and paintings, as well as some more recent works from Norman Rockwell and other American artists. For a young artist, it’s a religious experience, but for anyone else, it’s kind of a snooze.

Redwood National and State Parks

Along the coast of northern California (rent a car and drive the coast if you can) you’ll find the Redwood National and State Parks area, one of the natural California vacation spots kids love, covering more than a hundred thousand acres. This whole area of California is sort of a Mecca for American nature lovers. It’s home to the Sequoia, perhaps more commonly known as the California Redwood, the largest trees in the world. The scenery is breathtaking, and the area is home to several endangered species including northern spotted owls, Steller’s sea lions, and the bald eagle. This is one of the best places you could hope to take an outdoorsy type of kid.

Hollywood, CA

Everyone loves movies, but if you plan a trip to Hollywood, a brief warning may be in order: If you’re bringing kids, visit the Grauman’s Chinese Theater, the Walk of Fame, and the Wax Museum, take a picture of the famous sign and call it a day. These parts of town are very cool, the rest – not so much. Many of the famous landmarks have been destroyed. Of course, if you know which spots to hit, this can be one of the California vacations kids love.
