Photos of a Spectacular Day In South Orange County - Saddleback Mountain Majesty & Baldy Covered with Snow!

By
Real Estate Agent with Village Real Estate Services, Inc.

What a great profession real estate is.  It causes me to get out into the world instead of closing myself off in my office every day.  Today, as I headed for my first appointment, my breath was taken away by the incredible sight of Saddleback Mountain.  Then as I reached the summit of Pacific Island Drive in Laguna Niguel, the glorious blue Pacific Ocean lay at my feet---simply awesome.

In between appointments, I was inspired by the incredible day to snap a couple of photos before sitting down at my computer to conduct some business.  Both photos were taken from my deck---yes this spectacular sight is just out my bedroom window. 

Here's what I am fortunate to be able to see from the entire backside of my home---what a blessing!

 

Next, again shot from my deck is Mt. Baldy covered with snow.  We had a wonderful snowfall last night.  Look below all those fluffy clouds, that's Mt. Baldy mantled in white. For some reason, I just can't stop smiling today.

Bill 0 It took a lot of discipline to stay on schedule today and not just go out snapping pictures!

Joan - It is beautiful.  The sun rises just a bit east of my home, so I can't actually see the sun, but I see the affects of the sun in the sky.  One of the great vistas is the moon.  Sometimes during a full moom I swear it seems close enough to touch!

Aaron & Mindy - Unless you were here, It's hard to understand why we felt almost giddy.  And that particular flyover is one of the best vantage points in the county.  You feel like you can just reach out and tounch the snow-covered mountains.

Marlene, How beautiful, it's just absolutely gorgeous. We saw some snow here in Ventura county. on onside (to the north) mountains with snow and then you just have to turn your head to see the ocean with its huge waves.

Lynda - It's in the will with the dining room - LOL

Mana - I had a similar view yesterday while showing property.  The ocean on one side and snow covered mountains behind us.  It was absolutely awe inspiring.  Glad you got some snow up your way too.  Camarillo is such an incredible place to live.  We are so fortunate to live and work in such beautiful places aren't we?
