What i really would like, is people to post their yards, gardens, or houses - like photos :]

I've had a friend in Guam send me a photo, and i was amazed how different it looked...And that basically opened a can of worms =/

I will post a photo soon, but i'll tell you now it's really crappy..


* Gunna post a photo of your house/yard/garden?
* Are you interested in seeing others photos? :]

The Cali photos are actually REALLY nice, in a rugged way. x3
Georgia is so freaking ugly, tons of oak trees and Georgia Red Clay in the place of soil =/

Well, in summer here, all the grass dries up so the hills are brown. But during spring, it's gorgeous and all green from the rain. There are tons of wild mustard, wild radish, and wild sweet pea that grow.
There's a lot of adobe clay here actually, but it's certainly not red.

Green hills!

We get a lot of fog here because it's not all that far from the sea.

Alabama's pretty ugly too most of the time with all its scraggly little trees... but it's nice in the summer when everything is SUPER green, especially the cotton fields. I go to college in North Carolina, it's usually really pretty around here. biggrin

This is the back yard of my parents' house (where I grew up, too. They live in a small village, not too far from the Mediterranean Sea), which is actually an orchard, with oranges, lemons, the works. They sell most of them, the rest they use.

View from Teufelsberg in Berlin, it's a huge hill made of WWII ruins, people usually go kiting there. (Once I tried to get a helicopter down with my kite, I was four years old.)

The big soviet monument in Tiergarten, it was located in the western part of Berlin, but was protected by soviet soldiers, which caused funny situations more than once.
