Why do I love California? I have been living in California for over 7 years. Of course, I really miss my country, my friends, my family… But I really enjoy living in California. My daughter and granddaughters live here. I also made friends here. We often traveled with my daughter. I saw many interesting places. I love to be on the shores of the Pacific Ocean. It seems that for several hours in a row the summer sun stands at its zenith and heats up everything that can only be heated. However, the water in the ocean was cold, so it remains cold. Nature really surprised me. Life in California is a life without a change of seasons, eternal greenery, constant flowering of trees, shrubs and the sun. The weather is even and summer differs from winter in the length of daylight hours. Well, it rains in winter too. This place combines the incompatible! Here you have an ocean with palm trees and snowy mountains, and canyons, and sequoias, and even deserts with cacti. The nature in California is extremely diverse, with high mountains and vast valleys, dense forests and desert salt marshes, turbulent rivers and dry lakes. Snow can only be seen in the mountains. The sun is almost all year round. California is cool, warm, or very warm all year round. The seasons here smoothly replace each other. Spring is the most beautiful time in California, when all the yellow withered grass suddenly fills with emerald color. The hills are turning green. The Californian poppy or Californian escholzia blooms, which is the symbol of the state of California. This bright orange flower was named after this naturalist physician Johann Friedrich von Echscholz (1793-1831), who was a surgeon on a Russian expedition on a ship that arrived in San Francisco in 1815 and docked in a bay surrounded by hills covered with gold flower. Flowers in the spring do not stand out in anything special. Summers are dry, warm and long; there is no winter in the European sense. There are two seasons - dry from April to October (summer) and wet from November to March (winter). Therefore, the hills turn golden as soon as it begins. Autumn, September to December brings mild weather and spectacular foliage color. California nature is very picturesque. I constantly admire the flowering. I take a lot of pictures and send pictures to my friends. Because California is beautiful, and I want everyone to see this splendor.
