Pleasing to the eye.

On a side note, as soon as I saw California, I began singing Tupac's lyrics ...."California knows how to party"

in reply toImaaan

LOL WHY, does that not surprise me? 😅

California has nature's beauty but

New York with it's concrete jungle, no nonsense attitude and its melting pot of cultures is more my cuppa tea. Big up to HARLEM with its grit soul

in reply toImaaan

Oh good grief! You've been corrupted by the city!We prefer to take it easy Here.

It's better for your health in so many ways

Imaaan in reply to

Tru dat but I'm not fond of the plastic promoted life over yonder in California. Plastic phoney men and women who cant even move their foreheads ...plastic and fake personalities. No thnxs....next...lol

I like the keepin it real 💯 attitude of NY.

^ Btw clearly I'm generalizing and clearly I'm jokey jokey firing shots at California. Sooo pls nobody have a heart attack and take offence...lol just had to add a disclaimer

Speaking of New York. Tonight is the debut of Millionaire Dollar Listing:New York. With your favorite and mine. Luis.❤️❤️Bravo network FYI

in reply toIsinatra

Uh.... who and what is that 🤔

Isinatra profile image
Isinatra in reply to

Mega real estate series. Big bucks. Or are you asking about Luis? He’s just the most personable real estate agent in New York City. It’s a reality show. Good clean fun.

in reply toIsinatra

Oh. I'm not in the loop with that. If it's not on Netflix or YouTube. I don't know about it. I gave up on " Network Television years ago.

Reality TV is an oxymoron.

Imaaan in reply to

Sorry it's not your cup of tea. Reality and all its outrageous shenanigans

in reply toImaaan

The reality of the last several years has convinced me that I'm better off being disengaged from what passes for normal and media.

An interesting post on the benefits of both nature and music brainpickings.org/2019/05/2...

Lazaruslong, a few yrs ago a couple from CA moved to our West Tx city and incredibly populated our city Wildflower Park next to our Arboretum with a large variety of poppies. This added so much color and beauty to our park that both pro and amateur photographers come annually to photograph.

Unfortunately a couple of yrs ago, a new drip irrigation system was installed in park and the number and variety of poppies was lost. Still lovely with many other "native" and transported wildflowers but the glory burst of color added by the poppies has been a true loss.

Especially missed are the much fewer CA, state flower, poppies which tended to be at the front borders of many of the paths. Thx for your photo!

in reply toFlowerPreciousLover

My poppies are later than the one's down in the valley. I've seen whole mountain sides covered with them .. So many and so brilliant that you could see the color several miles away. The Anza Borrego park not far from my place, is a gathering place for flower lovers to gather for the Desert in Bloom "celebration" If you like wildflowers that's the place to be every spring.
