Wow, that first photo is just...spectacularly lush! I love the framing too, but especially love the richness of the colours.

My family has a special call as well --we "trill", which my mother can do loudly and distinctly enough to cut through a few thousand people in a convention dealer's hall. It's not a completely unique sound, so every once in a while I get to explain to a new friend why my head suddenly snapped up and looked around at an innocuous noise they made.
