I've had a lot of fun posting pictures of the Wind River Mountains this summer, and hopefully there will be more soon. But I know I'm not the only one who lives in a pretty place.
So, how about the rest of you? There are people on this board from all over the world. Let's see your mountains. Plains. Big City. Backwoods farm. Forest. Ocean. High Rise apartment. Manor house. Yurt. Whatever--it's all beautiful. Quit holding out on us. Bring on the pictures!

- Tell us something.: "Tell us something" hits me a bit like someone asking me to tell a joke. I can always think of a hundred of them until someone asks me for one. You know how it is. Right now, I can't think of "something" to tell you. But I have to use at least 100 characters to inform you of that.

These were taken last year. The vegetation is a bit different now. This is where I walk the dog. It's not MY dog. But it's nice to take the dog for a walk. The dog is Clara Bow. She is part Pointer. She belongs to my friend Josie, but she gets the best walks from me.
Down the old Railway track...
Past Treadaway Hill... There are sloes, apples, damsons and brambles here. It’s tasty time of year. And signs of sweet chestnut trees coming up!
That's a steep hill, although it doesn't look it... It’s stubble now…
Farm Woods are at the top there, (puff puff)
There is the view of Wooburn Common from Farm Woods. They play cricket and soccer in the Common at the bottom there.
And there's the stile (with Dog gate!)
See? Trees. Mostly Beeches – this is Buckinghamshire, the county of Beeches. Good for making furniture, which is what gave High Wycombe its industry. (Berkshire, across the Thames, is the county of Birches).
Looking downhill in the woods. Lots of squirrels and rabbits.
A Gate. (You walk around the side of it.)
"The Cathedral" Farm Woods
Clara posing! …She was slimmer then…
And Treadaway Hill again on the way home. Whew![/quote]

Well, I live in the middle of a redwood forest, and less than 10 miles from the beach, so the hardest thing is knowing which photos to pick!
Here's a bridge over Ferndell Creek, less than a half-block from my house:
Bean Creek, along one of my favorite evening walks, about a half mile from my house:
Ferns and bay trees in the early evening light. In the Santa Cruz Mountains, we never buy bay leaves...we just step out the front door and pick them!
Redwood sorrel (commonly, and erroneously, sold as "shamrock" throughout the U.S. around St. Patrick's Day):
And a couple of shots just up the coast from us (about a half hour away):
Parasailors between Half Moon Bay and Davenport, along Highway 1:
Cliffs along Highway 1, between Half Moon Bay and Davenport:

What a great idea! I am really enjoying these photos.
OK. I am cheating here by not posting my own photo. But this is the only image I know that shows the entire city park that is about 10 minutes from the office I work in.
I have climbed several of the peaks and hiked the majority of the trails, but I'll never get tired of the Flatirons. (Side note: These are part of the "foothills" just west of Boulder -- the real mountains are much higher up and a few miles more to the west.)
Some think the park is at its best in winter

Here's the nature trail about a mile from my house.
A cliff behind my former place of residence.

A waterfall in the next county.
Sunrise over the local lake.

Photos by me, except for the waterfall. My dad took that picture.

Here's the path to the Severn River beachfront that is the midpoint of our dog Freddi's preferred daily stroll:
And here's a glimmer of the river through the marshy grass that makes a great place for bunnies to scamper into once Freddi has spotted them. She likes the ducks too. Fortunately for the rabbits and ducks, Freddi is leashed, and they know it and laugh.

I don't have many pictures yet, since we haven't been here too long, and I'm lazy when it comes to taking pictures 
Here is part of the back yard...it was taken at sunset, so it isn't all that good, but it's what I have:
Here is the side part of the yard...we have TONS of road frontage (over 500ft) and a goodly portion of that is lawn.
Yes, that little piece of building in the second picture is my house (the building in the first is my shed). It's an "interim" house at this point...we bought the place for the 5.5 acres of land, and are planning on either totally improving the place that's on it now, or rebuilding entirely. Maybe later, if the sun decides to come out, I'll talk some pictures of the front and better ones of the back. We're surrounded by woods, with a brook running way down the hill in the back. It really is a pretty spot
