Love google earth, spend most of the winter there. I also like to look around the would at all the houses. 😀

I think I saw you hovering over Arizona like a spaceship 😆 😆

Ha Ha....yes that is so true. I also spend lots of time in Northern Mexico, places with the same climate. Looking for landscape plants an Ideas. 😀
El Paso is a zone 8b/9 but on the other side of the river in Ciudad Juarez they plant so much more exotics.

oohs and ahs, Aaron.

I feel warmer already having looked at that gorgeous pic.

Pls keep 'em coming. 😛

Same area

Those two palms growing through the roof overhang! 😀
Nice they weren't cut down.

In addition to the palms and gorgeous homes, I like the use of tile and garden walls.
Tile driveways are likely cheaper than concrete? Sure look better anyway.

The last pic...wow, the work keeping those junipers "pom pom'd" 😯

Hey Aaron, I've got a question about Streetview 6.
Tried to load it today (and I know SQUAT about how to do that)
When I clicked Download the free Google 6 version, a window popped up that said :
"This is a binary file...save or cancel?"
So I clicked Save and a gobbledygook bunch of messages came up in another window.
Just "x'd" out of all that.

What should I have done differently to download?
What's the thingy about binary about?

Thanks! More hot weather palm pics please (after you teach me how to load 6.0) 8)

Barb
PS--also lots of palms in southern England...they'll all have snow on them today (according to the news).

I can tell there is already some things that I don't like with google earth 6.0 You can't zoom in or out on street views. Makes it hard to get that good pic.

First off, the new Google Earth 6 is amazing.

Two, a Binary file is just the install file. You may have closed the window that asked if you wanted to run the install, if you saved the file it should be in your "Downloads" folder named "GoogleEarthSetup". Assuming you use Windows.

Sounds good, but how do you zoom in and out like you could with earth 5? inside a street view and I don't mean going up or down the street to do so? 😕 Thanks 😀

Yup, Windows...with zippo skillset.
Thanks Carl!

I finally played around with the online version (without loading it onto my computer).
H and I found the house in Vancouver where he spent his childhood.
And you're NOT going to believe this.
There's a 2-foot tall Trachy outside the front door.
Honest! Even he laughed, saying "you see, I had a palm tree BEFORE you".

Zoom worked for me (to see the little palm tree).
Just clicked the regular zoom " + " at the top left.

Great new pics Aaron.
Wow...must be the part of town where bank managers live. 😀

More please.

I don't see it unless it is in map view and map view wont work for me. 😐 I will keep trying, it use to be on the mouse wheel (whatever it is called) Thanks. 😀

That town is full of poverty, but around the golf cource there is some awesome homes. 😉

Yes, I was in the map view, that took me to streetview.
But the Google blog should help you.

re poverty comment:
probably why yards are gated/enclosed 😐
