Here in southern California the weather has been warming up as the end of spring approaches. So I thought I would share some springtime scenery from my home. For those that don't know, I live on a nice big 4 acre lot here in Muscoy, CA. Much of which is covered in trees and plants which has earned it the nickname "The Jungle". And in springtime The Jungle produces lots of greenery as well as many different fruits and flowers. It can be a lot of work to maintain, but I really enjoy it. It's a beautiful place and honestly there is no where else I'd rather live. And today I'd like to share a bit of it with you all.

All is looking great! Thanks for sharing!
Woahh... There are lots of oranges Mr.Crab... you have many types of fruit in your garden, it's very fun. BTW your cat is also very nice, its fur is thick...
What a gorgeous orchard they have, I see why it's the jungle. That is a nice place, I would love to have my back yard look like that, my neighbors would hate it but oh well!
