I drove over to a nicer neighborhood near where I grocery shop today to walk. I didn't get up early enough and the sun rose as I was on my walk back to the truck...so it started getting too warm and it was humid since it's already over 80 and many sprinklers and watering systems are going off, but I enjoyed it.
Pics later. 30 min walk.
Pics! (July 30..yikes)
This tree looks like a giant leg, foot and toes...
The golf course across the street...
Funny looking fern-like plants...
Many entrances to these communities look like this...
I like the silver/violet color combo on this bush...
Another housing community entrance...
New houses going up in this community...
Nice to have houses right on the lakes (read: duck ponds)...
Same body of water...
There just aren't that many flowering plants that can withstand the intense sun/heat here...this was in June, I'd be curious to see what this looks like now, a month later with temps over 110 daily...
Landscaping near the parking lot where I parked my truck...Lantana is everywhere here...it is pretty...
Typical view ...the palm trees do seem to fit in here... in parts of CA they just look odd...(like out in the country in the foothills, downtown Sac - they look a little better if kept up)
