Default Laguna Hills

Cul-de-sac in Nellie Gail Ranch community, one of the few equestrian communities of South Orange County located in the city of Laguna Hills. Nellie Gail is not gated like many other communities with million+ homes and is very popular for driving through at Christmas time to see the elaborate lights on the beautiful homes.


Nellie Gail




See horse trail and horse crossing sign, typical throughout the area


Across this drain ditch, train tracks, and freeway is the hills of Mission Viejo. Crane is at Mission Hospital, where a second tower is going up.



Cabot Road approaching Oso Parkway. Train tracks and freeway located down the hill on the right.


Now in Mission Viejo, this is the Madrid Community surrounding Mission Viejo High School.



Chrisanta Drive, where Mission Viejo High is off of, with he school located to the right.

Looking into MV High School from Chrisanta

Newest building at MVHS, home to science


The original street in Mission Viejo, this is La Paz Road. Beautiful street with jacaranda trees up the entire road, making for a great entrance to the city center.



New part of La Paz Road in East Mission Viejo (without the pretty trees

Eastern end border of Mission Viejo, this is from Felipe Road looking out into the valley below the mountain where Rancho Santa Margarita is.

Entrance to the slightly smaller and less crowded East Beach at Lake Mission Viejo, hidden in the middle of San Marino community.

Barcelona Hills track in north Mission Viejo. Great neighborhood set on a very big hill with panoramic views of the valley below. It is very pretty at night.



Trabuco Road approaching Los Alisos Blvd. and the MV/Lake Forest border.

Entering Serrano Highlands of Lake Forest


Serrano Highlands- One of Lake Forest's best neighborhoods. Very clean and good quality constructed homes.

Its graduation season here in Orange County! I'm so sad, my oldest graduates next year What is a mother to do? Well, my son was a junior honor escort (the people holding the flags in pics) for the graduation ceremony of this years senior class. I went to take a few photos of him doing this. It is a nice tradition at the school where a selected group of juniors represent the junior class in giving the best wishes of the juniors to the graduating seniors. I ended up staying for the whole ceremony and kept thinking how I'll be here next year for my own son.
So, here is commencement at Capistrano Valley High School in Mission Viejo








Anyone have their kids graduating or already graduated this year? It would be nice to share the photos. We have a lot of great high schools here in Orange County and the more photos in this thread the better. I really wish I could get some photos of other areas, but I'm in south county mainly so lets get some more from North OC and the beaches. This is a really great thread and it should represent this county the best it can.

I've attached a few (very old, hence the quality) pics of Rancho Santa Margarita from the mid-1980's. In order, they are:

Antonio Parkway where the Villas Antonio apartments are now (facing opposite direction)

Empresa and Santa Margarita (on the same side of the street as the car dealers)

Plano Trabuco and Joshua Drive (and my name is Joshua, which is why we took a pic of that sign )
