And by her way of expressing herself, I'd guess she's barely into her teen years.

[SIZE=2]Where as Texas is all flat and brown or concrete. A few patches of beauty in Texas doesn't represent the state. When people think if Texas they think of hot, flat, plain. When people think of California they think of ocean, mountains, trees, green and flowers. Where I live in Colorado people think of mountains, pine trees and general beauty. Texas is what it is.
[/SIZE]
No, when I think of Colorado I think of South Park, John Elway, Columbine shootings, and that's pretty much it. And please California needs no Colorado cheerleader. Tend to you're own state. California natives are not parading around CO. A beautiful state to look at, boring as **** though. I'll visit and spend a week or 2 there. But I wouldn't live there for nothing.

Texas doesn't have mountains of 10000 feer or higher. But come to think of it, neither does any state either due north OR east of 'er. However, there aren't many states west of Texas that border the ocean, either. Verdict: Cali has a more diverse land mass, but Texas is no slouch.

I agree. California is absolutely gorgeous and has varied terrains. They have real snow-capped mountains, beautiful beaches, deserts and giant sequoias.

Texas is great, but denying California's beauty and diversity just means you've never really been there.

False, evidently you've never been to "The Delta". I went there to stay on a boat house with a friend there and I told him I thought I was in Louisiana getting to his houseboat. He said "Yep, we've got everything in California. Forests, deserts, mountains, plains, and even marshland...

By the way, "The Delta" is east of San Francisco, where the Sacramento River meets the Bay. It is an area of marshland that looks like S. Louisiana.

California has everything folks.

By the way, the photos were from Central California, not Southern. Even Southern California gets green in the winter.

Most of you have probably only visited CA in the summer. Due to lack of rainfall, the whole state is brown in the summer. That's similar to much of Texas in the summer as well though.

I will say that Texas in the spring has California beat though. Nothing beats the wildflowers in Hill Country in the spring.

Louisiana huh? If you say so.. but hmm..thats strange, I googled the Delta and all I saw were marshlands (basically just a shallow wetland)...Not the same as a swamp, but ok. Swamps have trees and far more wooded areas than marshes. The Delta marshlands I googled were just that, marshlands...not swamps. There is a difference But whatever, tomato tomatoe I guess.
