"Yeah, it really is."
"Man, if the weather was like this all the time ..."

Ah, thanks for the laugh... it's SO true speaking as a native Californian who's currently renting in Marin County (just North of the GGBridge). I eyeball Austin and Charleston frequently but my husband and I are native SoCal people which ruins us in the inclement weather department. So, we'll be renters until the winning lottery ticket or surprise inheritance finds us ;-)
Thanks for your beautiful shots! I can always count on something uplifting, it's a joy to visit your site.
The visit was useful. Content was really very informative.
As a former Texan, it seems Texans can't stop talking about California. An open door really changes one's perspective.
Love those daisies. And Texas has its own share of beautiful days - thank goodness.
*sigh*
I miss SoCal
It's a dry heat, really, so it's not suffocating
Great mix of light in this photo. Love the darker background that brings out the contrast against the petals. Well done.
I would love to live in Florida where a "cold day" is in the 50's in the dead of winter. It's just too expensive. For now, I will soak up every random unseasonably warm Virginia day.
Good one!
We say the same thing here in Arizona!
I live in San Francisco and I miss the weather in SoCal....but I long for a house far away from here but I sure would miss the weather!!
