Where we live....

I wish I could say I live in a beautiful place so like so many of you LOL but I live in Central CA (USA) about 90 minutes from San Francisco (where I was born) and 90 south of our state capital, Sacramento. Even though I live in the city we are surrounded by agriculture as Central Ca provides something like 50% of the nations produce. I grew up in San Jose about 60 minutes from where I currently live and 20 years ago we moved to Tracy. I like the city for all it has to offer but living here has benefits too. Probably the biggest claim to fame for me is that I am only 5 1/2 hours (6 hours if my hubby is driving) north of Disneyland (and nothing but agriculture the whole way)...my home away from home. I go there as often as I can...in fact I am thinking about a trip next weekend LOL
 
There is some amazing photos in this thread and so many places to put on my bucket list of places to visit.
 
I thoroughly enjoyed seeing where everyone lives! Makes me feel like it's not very pretty here in Ohio. I'll have to dig out some photos to share.
 
I also owill be in Washington, but t is not my native state. I call it home for now, but we move a lot so I've called many places home.

ive been here for three years and I have to say the best part about Washington is all the rainbows. It rains a lot, so we have lots of opportunities for rainbows. They're almost always full and almost always double and SUPER bright!
 
I also love seeing where you all live. So divers!
Ik found a short movie about my hometown. I love living here because it has so much history!
So when you plan to visit the Netherlands (you should, we're great. It's true! ;) ) don't forget Dordrecht!

I'm from Ohio! Graduated high school in Shelby, a tiny little town. It was always just Ohio lol, never thought to really explore it :D. I love though when Facebook friends from other places visit Ohio, because then I get to see pics of it through someone who is visiting cool places and exploring. I've seen some cool stuff that way, and places I'd like to see if/when we end up back there.
 
I'm from Ohio too! It IS just Ohio, but it's my favorite place on earth, and I've visited lots of amazing places in the world. Nothing beats June in Ohio, except maybe October. We have some beautiful parks and fun places, and of course, Lake Erie. There really is no place like home. :)

I live in southern Illinois. It is quite different from our northern part of the state. I think the only thing in common is the corn fields. We have a lot of outdoors type activities here with fishing, hunting, boating, cliff jumping, trails/hiking, horse trails, ATV trails, wine trails, etc. We have a lot of state parks and we sit right along the Shawnee National Forest. Here are some pictures (not all mine) from the area right around me. There is so so much more to southern Illinois though...

Oh gosh! I lived in Illinois, Chicago suburbs for 25 years and didn't not realize how beautiful down south is.....
 
I live in Northern Virginia, in Ashburn, which is known for large number of data centers. Approx. 60% of world wide internet traffic flows through Ashburn :) we are in the DC metropolitan area, only about 40 min car ride to DC. But also minutes away from the country, vineyards and historical Civil War battle grounds
