Where do you come from?

Thought I'd add some pics.

Flower season this last spring:

Some day I'd enjoy traveling around the country in the spring just to see wild flowers in other places.  Texas would definitely be on the list, and for birding too.  I love seeing humming birds and I think you get more different species of them than any where else in the country .. along with tanagers and gawd only knows what other rarities.

Looking down California Street in Ventura, CA, where I lived for years:

My wife was born in Ventura.  She lived there during WW II.  As a toddler her mother would walk them to the beach while her day was away as a merchant seaman (very lucky to have survived that gig).  At night they had to black out the windows, at least in drills.  Fond memories to hear her tell it.

The Zafar Jube as it runs through northeastern Teheran, not too far from our last residence there:

Reminds me of places I've been in England.
