So of course I had to pull up an old chart from San Diego and take a look at your lake. By following the approach course in to Lindberg field, the lake you flew over is most likely Barrett Lake. <BR/>El Capitan Reservoir is too far north of the approach course. Sorry east county boy... ;-) (And the real name is Lake Morena, I saw it on the chart as well.)Janithahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11703735010161613075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29053672.post-41480904023782198412008-07-28T06:03:00.000-06:002008-07-28T06:03:00.000-06:00Hey, Jill...welcome back!

There are lots of similarities between SoCal and Central and Southern Florida - the tiled roofs, Mediterranean-influenced architecture (look at the histories), trees and flowers (except that purple and white one - that's new to me) and so on. However, we do have the heat and humidity and insects. After spending the weekend back in the Orlando area where the heat and humidity are super-intense, I'm glad to be back in the Tampa area where the sea breezes keep things a bit more tolerable.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29053672.post-92040947653989210052008-07-27T20:15:00.000-06:002008-07-27T20:15:00.000-06:00That was a lovely tour of your "west of the I-Five...That was a lovely tour of your "west of the I-Five" neighborhood! I've walked on that beach more than once myself, though I didn't live west of the I-5. <BR/><BR/>It's been so long since I've visited that area that your post today is nostalgic to me! CT and I have spent a weekend or two in past years at that tall hotel on the corner somewhere in that general area. We would have dinner in the restaurant on top and watch the sun set over the ocean...assuming, that is, that the fog had not rolled in! <BR/><BR/>You offer such wonderful descriptions of the flowers and plants too, and great photos.<BR/><BR/>I love naked ladies! Sometime in my childhood I read that they were the flower for my birthday month, August. Their name, of course, intrigued me, and after that I always notice them when they are blooming. They do have a beautiful fragrance.Sara at Come Away With Mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07677354270954094291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29053672.post-91186822336130104762008-07-27T18:20:00.000-06:002008-07-27T18:20:00.000-06:00It really is amazing to see all your pictures (as ...It really is amazing to see all your pictures (as well as Laura's; it must be in the family!!!)
