I'm not really sure what type of tree that is. It is interesting for photos and such, but looks like a nightmare for maintenance, cracks, sprinkler problems, etc... in the yard. I love the trunk though, it is really pretty. I'm inclined to think it is a ficus tree just because the roots are so large and a decent amount of the older homes have ficus trees, but I'm not 100% sure.

As regards to neighborhood cleanliness, most are very very clean. In few of the older neighborhoods you will find a house with chipped paint, over grown lawn, cracked driveway, etc.... but the majority of the homes are kept very clean and tidy. Many older homes have been renovated and look really nice and the newer neighborhoods, well, they look new of course.

This google map shows the city limits for when you are looking at the area. The blue boxes in MV and the red was to box in the city of Lake Forest: http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?clien...3,0.30899&z=12

Ficus was the first thing that popped into my head when I saw that tree.... but I'm certainly no expert.

Hey you guys - the leaves have fallen and we got our first snow flurries and 32 degree temp's. I could sure use some shots of OC in November. It is my escape when I come in out of the cold. Especially some when Christmas decorations go up. Southern California always really did up the decorations. Probably to get the Christmas spirit since you don't have the snow - but I was really excited the one Christmas we didn't have snow on the ground. Not having to wear the heavy boots and freeze when you are getting gas. Snow Sucks. Its only pretty if you are inside baking cookies. And putting up Christmas lights when your hands are freezing isn't something I look forward to.

Love the pictures Vegas! I always love pictures of Trabuco Canyon Rd. It is wierd to see a road so rural in a place like Orange County, which you usually think of as endless array of single family homes.
