BEAUTY IN CALIFORNIA As a result of the wonderful climate, plants bloom all year. ln the spring, the desert is an endless sea of blue and purple, the orange groves are forests of white, while the cherry orchards are a mass of pink. ln the summer, the fields are shimmering gold, and in the fall and winter many bushes with red flowers add to the beautiful landscape. The beauty of our state makes California living the most enjoyable in the world. - Carolyn Levin, B7 Did you ever rise in the morning At the DAWNING of the day, And hear the glad cry of the whipoorwill And the oriole's plaintive lay?

Then, a sudden clap of thunder, Animals came rushing by, To find themselves a shelter, That would keep them warm and dry.
