A nature walk, beach and rock pools - what more could you want on a beautiful sunny day ! Nice pic's too Ottoman !

Hi GarryRF. Thanks for the feedback. The lovely afternoon I spent at Crystal Cove State Park with my family really was one of those instances where you look around, feel grateful and content for what you have and say to yourself..."What more could you ask for".

I keep a Video Log in my mind of all those "perfect moments" when you say to yourself " Hey ! Life doesn't get any better than this" I often re run those moments to myself on a winters day - usually catching 40 winks on a Sunday afternoon. Priceless !

  South Miami Beach is probably one of the most photographed cities in the United States. It is home to what may be the densest collection of art deco architecture in the United States. It is hard to find something new to say, in fact, when I...

Crystal Cove State Park is a fine example of why people fall in love with California...Sand, Sun, and Surf.

I'm notoriously not a fan of Florida, but I love Moderne and Deco...and you've given me possibly the only reason to put a trip to Florida on my list... Thanks!

Jonathan, you did a fantastic job at showing South Beach! It really lives up to it's hype. One thing I love about Miami is Downtown,South Beach and the Airport are all an easy drive from each other. I'm curious too about your impressions of Downtown? It's experiencing one of the biggest construction booms in the country. Paul, say it ain't so that your not a fan of Florida!It's like California in the fact that the state is very diverse .You can love parts of the state and dislike others.

An interesting and well presented photo-tour of a place I'd like to spend a little time at. I've only visited South Beach once and that was for a very brief stay. I'd like to savor this great architecture. Thanks, Jonathan!

Quite a renaissance since I was last there in 1970, working in Bal Harbour. At that time no one I knew ventured south of the Fontainebleau. It's wonderful to see.

I didn't get to Downtown this time. The last time I was there (about 6 years ago) I was not really impressed. The overhead highway made the area feel dingy (thank you "urban renewal"). There is an art museum downtown that I remember liking (The Perez Art museum, I think). The thing is, it was right in the heart of the 2008/10 crash and almost all construction in south FL had come to a screeching halt. Entire buildings were empty. So what is there now is not what I would have seen then.

I was in Downtown Miami two times about five years ago and then two years ago. The difference was staggering. I've heard the last two years have even seen more of a transpotation becoming much more residential

Art-Deco is my favorite form of architecture....thanks for the tour

It's a lovely place! Do you know if these hills were ever forested, or have they always been grasslands?

It can get very windy, particularly in winter. Trees would have a hard time clinging on. Having said that, there are woods on Gower and I'm told that some of these areas were much larger once.

I was intrigued by the painted colors on the sheep in your photo. Looked it up to find fields are shared by many sheep farmers and the colors identify the farm to which they belong. Also, rams are outfitted with dye bags on their chest, so when they impregnate a ewe, a bit of the ram dye color can be seen on the ewe.

I was going to claim that it is the source of the famous pre-dyed Welsh wool, but since it wasn't the first of April ...
