“Timeless Escape” (Palos Verdes Peninsula, California)
Hi Friends! 🙂 It’s been a while, hope everyone is doing excellent.
I captured these images at various spots in the County of Los Angeles.

“Artful Elegance” (San Marino, California)
Here’s an interesting fact – LA County is the most populous county in the United States, with over 10 million residents (which includes the 4 million inhabitants in the City of Los Angeles.)
Yet, despite all of the people, cars and structures, there is still a plethora of unspoiled nature (thankfully).

“Dance in the Sun”(Palos Verdes Peninsula, California)
Anyway, I hope you enjoy these photos. My aim was to capture the natural splendor while adding a little personal touch.
Have a wonderful day!! See everyone soon. 🙂

Your photos help me appreciate our world in new ways.

Hi Kevin! 🙂 Thanks for liking some of my recent posts. I enjoyed seeing the photos in this post. The landscapes are relaxing images to me.The building in “Eccentric Drama” reminds me of the rotunda on the State Capitol Building here in Sacramento except that the dome on the rotunda has a higher and more rounded top.
I am sorry that I could not visit your blog sooner. I have been so busy lately that I hardly have time to sleep! I am now working at two writing jobs that take up a lot of my time while I am taking care of my dad and my pets. I am also still checking the shelters and putting up posters for my lost cat when I can.
I hope you and your family are doing well. Take care, Kevin. 🙂

These are all great shots, that “Greatest of Green” (I thought that was money?) looks like someone’s cultivating shamrocks on another planet. And the “Eccentric Drama” is very cool, too, HQ for the Stone Temple Pilots or a summer cottage for Zeus? All of these would make great posters!
