   Show Me Your Spots!   Every day, I drive by this horse stable in Redlands, CA. and want to stop and take a picture but usually the time is never right but yesterday I turned around and got this photo. I tried to get him to look up but he was just too busy eating. Still really cute!   Where else can you live in a city and find country sites like this? The east end of Redlands is full of hiking and bike trails, lots of wildlife and my favorites…horses and birds. What a lovely community to live in; Redlands and Loma Linda.

  The à la Minute is a new ice creamery located in the downtown area, 19 Citrus Ave, Redlands, CA. This store is very unique because at à la Minute they make your ice cream when you order it, freezing the ingredients with liquid nitrogen.   The ordering process is very fast so you are not standing in line more than a minute or two. But then the waiting for your ice cream is so much fun as watching them prepare the orders, the frost coming from the big mixers and presenting the orders to the waiting customers…so yummy and so worth the wait.   Absolutely delicious! My daughter went there last weekend and we tried the Mint Chocolate Chip and Orange Honey. Yummy!...Stop by if you are in the area for a spectacular treat to your taste buds. Doesn't this look yummy? These pictures taken in Red...

This Storm Hit with a Vengeance I waited all day for the storm to arrive as the clouds had been getting darker by the minute. Here I ran into a store and knew the rain was imminent. When I came out, it was pouring rain. The rain was so strong that it was stinging my skin. I just took a few photographs as I did not want to get my new camera wet. These photos were taken on State Street in Redlands, CA. I was looking for some walkers with umbrellas but no one was outside and the rain was not letting up. Do I dare go outside and take a picture of my pool? Maybe just a quick one!   These pictures taken in Redlands and Loma Linda, CA.   If you are looking for a professional agent, I am just a click away. Google me at Kristin Hamilton-Real Estate.

Would You Drive One of These Vehicles?  In the past month I have noticed some interesting vehicles on the road. I took a couple of pictures. I thought they were all three so cute! This cute scooter is in the window at Leroy's in downtown Redlands, CA.   This bike I took in traffic a couple of weeks ago in Newport Beach. This little scooter I saw at Dana Point. So Cute and it even has windshield.   And this last one reminds me of the "Chips or "Bay Watch" show.

The Little Yellow Bird This morning, while out on a nature walk, I noticed a storm is brewing and the birds are extremely upset. They are searching for food and a place to take cover before the storm. This bird is called a "yellow-Rumped Warbler".    Just before the huge gusts of winds came, I took pictures of these finches in my backyard. I put up a new feeder several days ago and the birds just noticed the feeder hanging there this morning. These birds look like they are trying to hold despite the wind gusts. It is really cold now! I feel the storm is nearby. Don't Forget to Feed the Birds!

  BEWARE.........Bogus Emails Claiming to be from Craigslist.   I started putting my listings on Craigslist last month and I have been getting these emails asking me to reply. See what came yesterday.   When I get these messages, I log-in on my browser and check my account. I always find the listings current and no problems. I have noticed recently when I add the listing, I get a text with the code to enter and a warning…”Do not give your password to anyone”. Just like with other sites; banks, real estate websites, MLS and other sites, when the email says “Log in here, you know this is a bogus site just trying to get your passwords. Do not fall for this as the companies already know your passwords so they do not need to ask for them.   NEVER LOG IN AND TYPE IN YOUR PASSWORDS. And if you...

Walking in the Sand….at the Beach When I go to the beach, I think about many things in my past. First of all, I think of "The Beach Boys" and "Jan and Dean". They sung all those beach songs and then there were the beach movies with Annette Funicello, Sandra Dee, and Frankie Avalon. Oh, they were so much fun to watch and when we would go to the beach, we felt like we were part of that lifestyle...how fun to be young. Of course we cannot forget Elvis Presley and Ann Margaret with the Hawaii movies. So many of us grew up with these memories and later were the re-runs and videos so the younger crowd remembers them too. I liked these movies because the movie always ended nicely in the end, the good guy won and the bad guy lost. Then my daughter started playing volleyball and we would go and ...

My mother and grandmother both loved African Violets so I guess it was a given that I would love them too. They last for a long time with very little attention sitting in my kitchen.  Gidget is my African Violet Inspector. I guess my new plant passed inspection!   African Violets seem to be very popular with many. Many cities have African Violet Societies and it is fun to go and see the absolutely perfect ones. Sometimes they have them for sale too and then you know you are getting a truly healthy plant.   HISTORY of the African Violet. 1. The African violet was first discovered in East Africa in 1892 by Baron Walter von St. Paul. 2. Over 20 wild species and variants have been found to date. 3. All wild species have blossoms in the blue-violet range, but other characteristics vary. 4. A...
