Nag! Nag! Nag! Tara!!! LOL  Ok, I am making my attempt to show exotic but it's not easy since temperatures have climbed back to the 100 degree F mark and I'm always cranky in the heat...

This first entry is...well...its a mix of the "typical" image of palm trees that most people think of when you say "California."  We haul them in from places (like Southern California) where they really like to be, stick them in the ground here and force them to grow in our stifling, dry summer heat and in our hurrican-force wind storms during the winter. 

Most people see this incredibly deep blue sky (not altered, by the way...) and think "how beautiful!"  This sky goes on for weeks and weeks and weeks with not a distinguishing mark other than a passing plane. I find it incredibly depressing after a month of this - blue, blue, blue!

Still, putting the two together (the sky and the plams) and then adding them to downtown office buildings, there does seem to be something exotic in the mix.

I have 2 more entries I'm thinking about...

So, Piet, Shari, Bruce, TARA!  LOL I'm in!
