Pictures from Mother's Day (At Paramount Ranch)

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...

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.
