Hey, it's my first time posting here, and I ADORE the photos in this thread - thanks to everyone for sharing. I'm nowhere near as good at this as sdurbanite (I don't seem to have been consistent at sizing, for example), but I have a few to share:
I am in love with the Casa del Prado in Balboa Park. And with Balboa Park in general.
The Museum of Man dome, from the courtyard of the Globe Theatre (Balboa Park again):
Inside the Balboa Park Arboretum:
Arboretum from the outside:
The Spanish Village in Balboa Park:
The fountain at the Inez Parker Memorial Rose Garden (Balboa Park):
The creepiest tree (in my opinion) at the Balboa Park Cactus Garden:
Here are a few pics of one of my favorite things -- Queen Califia's Magical Circle (by Niki de Saint Phalle) in Kit Carson Park (Escondido):
Carlsbad State Beach:
It was December when this next one was taken, hence my son not swimming!
View from the Oceanside Pier (home of Ruby's Diner):
I really have to get better at taking photos! Here's hoping that I at least posted them correctly...
