Pictures from Mother's Day (At Paramount Ranch)

[NoahsMommy]

We had a really nice Mother's Day yesturday. I took a ton of pictures with my new camera and wanted to share Paramount Ranch with you all. We don't post that many pictures of this part of California on PT. Its really pretty there.

Its owned by the city of malibu and is named after the studios. They filmed "Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman" there, along with some other shows/movies.

Here's a little tour...

[Maya & Inka's mommy]

Those are great pictures, Kelly! I love good nature pics so much! Please post some more, if you have any!

[Jods]

Great pics I just love thistles!!they are soo pretty. Glad your Mom had a good Mother's day/anniversary.

[BitsyNaceyDog]

Awesome pictures Kelly. I am so jealous.

[gini]

Kelly, what a great way to spend the day with your Mom for Mother's Day.

Don't you just love the oak trees that we have in California?

I hate it when there is a new development and we cut down those trees.

Thanks for sharing a wonderful day with us.

[slick]

Kelly, thanks for sharing your wonderful Mother's Day with us. Those pictures are fabulous and what good-looking family you have.

[luvofallhorses]

Thanks for sharing your Mother's Day with us, Kelly :)
It looks like you all had a great time :D

[Jadapit]

Beautiful pictures!! It looks like you all had a lot of fun. You have a beautiful family.:D

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

The water under the bridge is a creek, Kelly. Or, depending on what part of the country you're from, it could be a crick. Stream, what's that? Must be California lingo for creek. ;) :D However, seeing as this place is supposed to be portraying the old West, creek or crick is most appropo. ;)

Is Krista your sister or your brother's girlfriend? Just curious because if she's your sister, then you're all "K's." In our family we're all "D's." Daniel, Debra, Dennis. :)

Looks like you had a perfectly lovely day with your family. :D

[NoahsMommy]

Krista is his girlfriend, but yes, totally appropriate. Our family was Kathleen, Cliff, Kevin and Kelly. ;)

Yes, I think a creek would it. You've never heard of a stream? Hmm...I never knew we had words other people didn't have...interesting. :)

[popcornbird]

Beautiful pictures!!! LOL! Is stream just a Californian word? I never knew that! :p I would probably call that a small stream.

[Kfamr]

What a gorgeous day! I'm sure your mom was beside herself with happiness.

Gosh, your brother is a "looker" ;) his gal is pretty too. :p

[NoahsMommy]

;) Thanks, Kay! I think so too!!! :)
