For the past couple of weeks, I've been snapping pictures on my iPhone of my hometown for a friend who once used to live here. I wanted to show how Sacramento has changed over the years, and how it is still distinctively Sactown. In doing so, I started looking at my own neighborhood with new eyes- and instead of chronicling the typical souvenir shots of Sacramento, I started to see the details that make this particular place feel like home. I thought I'd share some of them with you.
Enjoy my town!

Love your pictures and love the feel of your pictures!!
The moss picture has such great detail I love the pictures, and I can not even believe they are from an I phone. I really need to upgrade.

Sacramento looks like one really interesting and beautiful place. Nice shots, great that they are not the typical postcard but more your own point of view.
Bella you look so beautiful in the first picture!
Pink really suits you well.
Very inspiring and detail pictures. Great photography skills!
Have a lovely and creative week,
I *love* your town RQ. These are beautiful, and make me miss it there so much!
You're very good with the foliage! I feel like watering some of those plants, they look so dimensional.
Very nice! Before your FTF Community post, I really knew nothing about Sacramento, so it's nice to see some images. I'm also loving your floral sunglasses. :)
I love this post.
I enjoy seeing the "reals" where people live!

It's nice to see where you live in a new light. I feel like I'm doing the same now that my time here is coming to an end. I appreciate everything just a little bit more than I did before.

LOL, Lil Bits. You flatter me.
Yeah, we have an interesting hometown in a way- unique and then again, so oddly familliar. I love Midtown!
I love these kinds of hometown love posts. Makes me think I should tote my SLR around and do the same for Minneapolis!
I really love the mossy one. Actually I really love them all. Much better than touristy shots.
Wow, I really enjoy these pictures! I feel like I got to know you a bit more by seeing these. I can see how it feels like home, its quite lovely. Heart you!!
Wow, your town is so different from my town! The cacti are so cool. Thanks so much for sharing - it's such fun to be able to see a snapshot of someone else's home without leaving the comfort of my bedroom! :)
I really should take some photos of Bangladesh...
