1. that is pretty

and nice.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

2. Thanks!

It was pretty chilly, for us, anyway...

[nadinbrzezinski]

3. Over here we had that wonderful winter sun

it don't warm much. But I could go to the market to get groceries.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

4. It's not a warm sun at all!

And I too went to the market for a few groceries...

5. miss peggy

that is one of the prettiest photos i've ever seen of El Lay! thanks!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

6. Thank you, my dear shanti!

This was taken in a spot that is well known for the great views of the downtown along with Mt. Baldy (the nickname for Mt. San Antonio). I've been there when there were a number of professional photographers working ...

It's the Kenny Hahn Wilderness Regional Park or some such name.

Glad you enjoyed my picture!

7. Your 5th Rec : )

Very beautiful my dear Peggy!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

8. My dear One Voice!

Why, thank you!:D

I'm glad you enjoyed my picture...

9. Are those the hills east of L.A. Miss Peg?

It's been too long, left the valley in the mid 80's, but that sure looks like the range I remember.

Traded for this one.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

10. My dear jotsy!

Indeed, yes, those are east of LA...

The San Gabriel Range, the most famous of which is Mt. San Antonio, or Mt. Baldy.

It is a true mountain, being 10,000 feet high.

I LOVE photographing it!

:hi:


On edit: your picture did not show, unfortunately.

[jotsy]

31. Sorry about that!

I am not having much luck w/ getting the skill of posting pix!

Hiking up to Schweitzer (sp?) Falls is still a favored recollection of the area, much different time of year though.

36. Something to try when an image won't display in a post:

Right-click on it, then select "Properties."

Copy and paste the URL address to your browser address bar and go there. Most of the time, you should be able to see the image--and when you use the back arrow to go back to the post, it should display there, too.

When I tried this, jotsy's photo of Mt. Hood magically appeared! :hi:



Note on edit: I had to do the same thing with this post to make the image appear. Even though it previewed okay, it didn't display when posted.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

39. Hm. Still can't see it...

When I right click, I don't get properties...

Oh well...

Thanks for trying, anyway!

I can't see it in your post either.

:hi:

[devilgrrl]

11. Why that is just the loveliest of photographs my dear CaliforniaPeggy.

Thank you for sharing! :-)

[CaliforniaPeggy]

14. My dear devilgrrl!

Why, thank you!

It's hard to go wrong in this park...

:hi:

[UrbScotty]

12. My dear California Peggy - IT'S FLOATING!!

;-)

Actually, the way it blends in with the other clouds, the mountain looks like a cloud itself!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

16. My dear UrbScotty!

Indeed it does. And that's why I went out to photograph it today...

I hadn't been able to get there before when it looked like this.

Thanks!

:hi:

[malaise]

[CaliforniaPeggy]

18. My dear malaise!

[Odin2005]

15. Very Pretty!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

19. Thank you, my dear Odin2005!

[Rockholm]

17. So Beautiful!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

20. My dear Rockholm...

I am extremely fortunate to live near this wonderful view!

Thank you!

[Rockholm]

22. I could stare at that all day!

Very fortunate (and very jealous...as we are getting socked with a blizzard)

[IMATB]

21. WOW !

Take your breath away beautiful !

Thank you.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

24. I thank YOU, my dear IMATB!

[rufus dog]

23. great picture

Is it taken from the north side of Baldwin Hills?

My favorite part of the picture is I can't pick up a freeway, know where the 10/110 interchange is but I can't pick it up from the perspective.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

25. My dear rufus dog...

I think that interchange is off the right-hand edge of this picture, but I'm not sure.

It's funny--I know where that interchange is, and I know where this park is, but I don't know where they are in relation to one another!

I think the park is on the north side of Baldwin Hills. I do know we're facing east.

Glad you enjoyed the picture!

[lunatica]

26. That's a lovely photograph

Thank you for sharing it.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

28. My dear lunatica!

I appreciate your comments!

Thank you...

[proud2BlibKansan]

27. Just saw this same picture on Facebook!

This larger one is better.

Beautiful! Great job Madame Photographer! :)

[CaliforniaPeggy]

29. My dear proud2BlibKansan!

Shhhh.....you'll blow my cover!;-)

It IS the same picture...

Thanks so much, sweetie!

:D

30. Very pretty, CP

When I used to live in SoCal back in the early '70s, I didn't even know there were mountains over there, the smog was so bad. I think the air has improved quite a bit since then.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

32. My dear Blue!

Thanks!

Yes, the air has cleaned up quite a lot, but we still have days when you cannot see the mountains at all. Some days, it's just the fog that obscures the scenery, though...

[azul]

33. Thanks for the photo

I didn't recognize the LA skyline it's been so long since I lived there.

Used to hike a lot in the Santa Monica mountains looking at the city and San Gabriels. And Catalina.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

34. You're welcome, my dear azul...

I'll bet your hikes gave you some fabulous views...

Glad you enjoyed my picture!

:hi:

[AsahinaKimi]

35. Lovely picture Peg..

I am kind of confused, I thought you lived in Northern California..I could have sworn I saw some pictures of the South Bay that you had taken, guess I was wrong. Great photos always though!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

37. My dear AsahinaKimi!

Well, I used to live in Northern California, but not for decades...

My pictures are of the South Bay, but this refers to the Santa Monica Bay! If you look at a map of SoCal, you will probably see the bay labeled that way.

Sorry for the confusion!

And I'm glad you enjoyed my picture...Thank you!

:hi:

[AsahinaKimi]

42. oooooh..

Santa Monica is lovely. I lived in Santa Barbara for a while, so I visited many of the places down south.. I think the farthest I went was San Juan Capistrano. I don't know, when I hear South Bay I think of places like.. Brisbane, San Bruno, San Mateo, Foster City, East Palo Alto,...guess I been in the Bay Area too long! I still love it here!

[calimary]

38. I was wondering what mountain that was. We saw it coming east from Santa Monica

this morning.

GLORIOUS! We need our snowpack BADLY here in SoCal.

NIIIIIIIIIICE photo My Dear CaliforniaPeggy!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

40. Thank you, my dear calimary!

It can be really beautiful!

And today it was.

Thanks for your compliments!

Unfortunately, our water does not come from there. We get most of our water from NoCal, via the California Aqueduct. The snowpack in the Sierras is pivotal for us...

The snow on Mt.Baldy is good for the skiers!

:hi:

[calimary]

41. The tourism sure will help.

Although I heard one weather forecast that indicated that it would be a great ski season - if only the skiers could get there.
