Home is Irvine, California. Glad to be back in Orange County after too many years away. Things I love about Southern California: Sunsets at Ventura Harbor Beach. The Channel Islands - magical islands in the mist offshore. Garibaldis in the water around Catalina. Jacarandas in bloom. Bougainvillea and night blooming jasmine. Bird of paradise flowers. Very old olive trees. Segerstrom Center for the Arts. South Coast Plaza. Mimi's Cafe. Hummingbirds at my feeders. Del Taco. Palm trees. Sunshine. Snow on the mountains. Downtown Fullerton. Huntington Beach. Costa Mesa. More to come.
