The Most Wonderful Photo Of The Year In Rancho Santa Margarita

RANCHO SANTA MARGARITA, CA — Is there anything prettier than the reflections in Rancho Santa Margarita lake? We love this photo by reader Angela Madsen, that captures that glorious evening glow in the sky and the lights upon the water.

The towering Christmas tree glows nightly this time of year, but it looks pretty as a picture even in the daytime, surrounded by poinsettias and decorations of red and gold.

Now that the tree is up and lit, and Christmas is almost here, it's the perfect time to tell you all how much we appreciate you!
