“Enchanted Hill” (Southern California, USA)
Hi Friends! It’s a HOT July day here in my part of Southern California. Today’s temperature is going to reach 108° Fahrenheit (42° Celsius). Wow! I hope everyone is having an amazing summer, and for my Southern Hemisphere friends – I hope your winter is treating you well. 🙂
I took these photos in various Southern California locations. I truly hope you enjoy the photographs, and find a sense of inspiration from the images.

Thank you, Kevin, for the like on Elm Drive Images. Cardinals against the snow present a dramatic image that’s hard to pass up.

Thank you, Irene! Always great to hear from you. I really want to visit Spain. I am going to add it to my list of places to see! My wife is from Holland, so we visit Europe often. She has been to Spain, and loved it. Have a great day!

Hi Kevin! 🙂 Thank you for liking “Happy First Day of Summer.” Fantastic photos! Last week it was over 100 degrees here in Sacramento too. I am glad that it will cool down into the 90s this week. I hope you can manage to stay cool this summer. 🙂

Thanks Arlene! Yeah, it has been crazy hot down here. Plus, we just had some wildfires in our area. The fires were only a few miles from my home. It was a pretty intense few days. But, we fortunately made it through unscathed. This state needs some rain! Let’s send some positive vibes into the world for some much needed water. Have a great week! 🙂

You are welcome. 🙂 I heard about some wildfires in southern California on the news. I am glad that you and your family are okay. The rain usually does not come until fall, but we won’t have to wait long for it because it is already August.
I hope you have a great week too, Kevin. 🙂

So other worldly. I love them. Come north and cool off, 108 degrees is not good for humans. Take care, MaryGo

You’re welcome 🙂 Last summer (Dec/Jan) was very hot at 38C every day, but usually it is low 30’s. It’s fairly humid too, which makes it feel worse.

Beautiful views, but I’d never be able to see them in person, at least not in the summer, It hit 27C here a couple of days ago (that happens maybe once every 1-2 years) and everyone basically collapsed from the heat 🙂
