The first shot is from Daley Ranch in Escondido (north San Diego County). And if I'm remembering correctly, the other three are from Mission Trails Regional Park in San Diego proper.
Cheers!
I especially love the shooting stars. They sort of make me feel as though they're little birds, with their little beaks. (It's been pointed out to me that I have a rather vivid imagination...)
I don't live in California any more; I miss the landscape and love photos that remind me of it.
