  A Huge Fireball in the Sky   This morning the sky looked so beautiful at sunrise that I could not ignore it. It was calling out to me to grab my camera and “take the picture”. It looks like a huge fireball in the sky and I love the purple tones. We had a big rain storm last night and that must be why it looks different than usual. But is was more than that. I said this is the "First Day of the Rest of Your Life" so make the most of it. It was a very inspiring moment and I wanted to share the beauty with you. California has beautiful sunrises and sunsets.       California is a dream come true state no matter what your needs or wants are.

  I See the Real Estate Recovery Roller Coaster in Full Swing Upwards I started in real estate in the early 2000's and life was easy for an agent. We listed a home and had several good full price offers and viola….. it was closed in about 30 days so typical time from listing appointment until close of escrow was 35-40 days. Then as we all know, the bottom dropped out of the market after many loans accelerated to unaffordable payments and people who had fudged on their stated income found they were in deep trouble. Homeowners had thought a simple re-fi of their first and second loan would solve the solution but not this time.People started losing their homes left and right. Also with the collapsing market, people started losing their jobs so this brought on another problem. How could you...

  California Pelicans at the Beach     This pelican was huge and was escourting the fishing boat in after a day of deep sea fishing. Pelicans are very smart and know exactly where the fishing box is on the boat. The Pelicans and the Cranes were jumping in and helping themselves to the fish until the Captain closed the box.   This is a colony where the Pelicans live and fish at Dana Point Harbor. It is a very nice place to come and visit, walk your dog,  eat lunch at the park near the waters edge, go sailing or just for birdwatching. I have to comment on this picture as this pelican was diving straight into the water for fish. It is amazing to watch.   California is a dream come true state no matter what your needs or wants are.

Using Clone Tool on Ribbit to Remove Unwanted Items in Pictures Do you ever take the perfect picture and when you download it, you find a something there you wish you could remove. If it is close to the edge, we can crop but what if it is right in the middle? So I have been practicing with the cloning tool and it works pretty well. First go to www.Ribbit.com and download your picture you want to edit. Here are some examples below. This is a desert picture of a bird in a large bush. My camera focused on the top bird and that made the lower one blurry.  By covering it with other backgrounds in the picture, it removes the lower bird from view. Here is a picture of a huge bougainvillea and the pretty light post is in the picture but I hate the sign. So by blurring out the sign, I was able t...

  Beautiful Bougainvillea   This woodsy vine with paper like flowers comes in a variety of colors and is mainly used for ornamental landscaping.

A Bad Listing is Like a Bad Romance- What Doesn’t Kill You Makes You Stronger!   I listed the cutest little house in a city that happens to be plagued with high crime, a lot of negative media attention and the bad economic issues as well.   The Seller owned the house outright and asked me to meet him at his empty home and bring the comps and contracts. I thought this would be a great listing….wrong! Of course he felt the home was worth more than the comps so he wanted to price it $20,000 more than I felt it was worth. Plagued with characteristics as being a small house, on a small lot, old age, and not any updated features, I knew from the beginning it was not going to go well. I should have run the other way but I liked the seller and wanted to help him sell so he could move out of sta...

Hummingbirds in Loma Linda I used to have one hummingbird feeder but due to such aggressive behavior I added a second one. They still buzz around and chase each other but lately we have seen some peace in the yard. Here is one on the left side of the peach tree. And here is the other hummer in the tree .....at the same time. Here they are together 'staring' at each other.  Not sure if we have peace or just a standoff. And they are off to the bird feeders again. California is a dream come true state no matter what your needs or wants are.
