Here's a some pics I took a couple of years ago...

Awesome. The last picture not only captures the sense of the thing, but it's just a good picture :p

You're lucky though. I live in a city and all I smell is urine and garbage. :(

Nice.

I love it when the ground looks like it's covered with snow and it's almond petals.

Nice pics!

I love it here in SoCal (North County San Diego). It is absolutely beautiful here today. Bright, clear and sunny with a light breeze off the ocean. Should be in the high 60s here today. :cool:

I actually loved the garlic smell we had at the Gilroy Foods plant where I grew up.

Course it's ConAgra now but aynway.
