Things that make me happy
 

Other than being a performance enthusiast (yes, one of my cars "wastes" gas, depending on your definition of "waste") and ***** for optimization, I also try to take time out of my day to enjoy nature. While it's by no means a "garden," the planters on my balcony are my little slice of nature in the sprawl of human detritus that is Los Angeles. Also, a couple of pics of the botanical garden in Pittsburgh from my trip there two weeks ago. The quality isn't great because it's a phone camera.

And the last one is just a shot of the entrance to the office park I work in - I was appreciating the nice day when I rode my bike in.

Ok, forgot to add - what makes you happy?

Three of the things I like best. My wife, my car, being on a road trip.

I also live in a beautiful area of western Montana, and have three great dogs.

I am off on Holiday soon which obviously makes me very happy, however it is not the holiday in its self that just makes me happy but the quality time I get to spend with my family. Also when we go on holiday we don't just sit around on a beach sunbathing, not that there is anything wrong with that (each to there own and all that) but we go sight seeing and embrace the culture and immerse ourselfs in as many experiences as possible.
