WhooHoo! 1st Place Macro! - Arlington Camera Photo Contest

 

A couple months or so ago, a friend told me about a photo contest sponsored by Arlington Camera in Texas. She suggested I enter a photo and see what happens....So I did.

This was my entry:

Macro photograph of a bee

 

I took this photograph using a Nikon 50mm prime lens with a Hoya Digital Pro 3X Closeup lens attached. It was a late spring day up on Rampart Range, outside of Woodland Park, Colorado. I hung around this guy for about 20 minutes, 'shooting' him I don't know how many times. Luckily I was by myself, no one else would have had the patience for it!

Arlington's November Newsletter just came out, announcing the winners!

Highland Park Sign - Claudette MilletteHighland Park is one of Hopkinton's premiere neighborhoods and one of the more popular in town. Located just off of picturesque Saddle Hill Road, Highland Park is situated next to the Hopkinton Country Club.  

The entrance to this lovely development begins with the streets Edgehill Road, Stoneybrook Road, and Bridgeton Way, then leading into Wedgewood Drive, Singletary Way and Riverbend Road.Highland Park Home - Claudette Millette   

In this subdivision, you will find much more than just traditional New England colonials.  The homes in Highland Park are of a variety of styles, including French provincial, Tudor and some large capes. 

Unlike many subdivisions which are built by one primary builder, a number of builders were involved in the original project, resulting in a diversification of plans and individual styles. 

The homes in this community range in age from the 1980's up into the 2000's with lot sizes at a minimum of 60,000 square feet. Home sizes are 2800 square feet to over 4500 square feet.  Amenities are numerous and varied and with superior quality evident in every part of the neighborhood. 

Highland Park Home - Claudette MilletteCurrent property values range from $640,000 to over $1,000,000.

Highland Park is easily accessible to major routes 495 and the Mass Pike as well as close proximity the to MBTA train station. 

The scenic and convenient location, as well as the unique styles of homes, make Highland Park an attractive community to anyone seeking to relocate into Hopkinton.  

 

Best known for being the start of the annual Boston Marathon site, Hopkinton also enjoys the distinction of having an award-winning public school system that has been consistently ranked highly among schools in the Metrowest area.    

Highland Park Home - Claudette Millette

Well it looked like another good turnout for the 8th annual Zeitgeist Half-Marathon run around The Hidden Springs community in The Boise Foothills at the North-East end of The Boise Valley!  While the registration numbers pushed a thousand it was hard to tell how many showed up but It looked like several hundred anyway!  This is just one of the many foot races run through Hidden Springs each year.  Include the many bike races and the "Bicycle Friendly" Community Designation and you have one of the most active communities anywhere in the nation.  Moving here several years ago was the best "quality of life" decision our family has made.  Our neighbors are a rare blend of caring and fun!  Let me know if anyone out there has any questions concerning Hidden Springs or The Boise Valley for that matter!

Home Sellers in San Antonio, TXand everywhere else can breath a little sigh of relief because President Obama signed legislation that helps extend some unemployment benefits and a few other things to include Home Ownership, called the Worker, Homeownership and Business Assistance Act of 2009

Now, you may be wondering why I am talking to Home Sellers in San Antonio, rather than BuyersRunning out of Time.  First of all, there are going to be TONSof blogs and news articles talking about assisting buyers with this First Time Homebuyers Tax Credit extension.   It is going to be no mystery to those Buyers who are now ready to hop off of that fence and purchase a home.  By the way, those of you still thinking of buying a home, trust me, now is the time to get off of the fence as this Tax Credit has most likely seen its last extension.  Of course, you can always take a Gamble and roll the dice one more time to see if they will extend it yet again.

I wanted to specifically talk to Home Sellersbecause this Tax Credit Extension is sure to help you during one of the toughest seasons to sell, the Holiday Season.  I wrote a BLOG yesterday about deciding whether to keep your home on the market or list it during the Holidays.  It is a tough decision at times, because as you now know, the Buyer pool tends to slow down during the Holidays.  Although during this time frame, you get fewer lookers, you most likely get more serious Buyers.  With the First Time Homebuyers Tax Credit extension, selling a home during the Holiday Season just got TONS better!  The Buyers should be coming out of the woodwork and getting down to business in getting into a home!

Sold

Additionally Sellers, those of you who have been thinking about moving up can also enjoy this new legislation.  It offers those of you who have been living in your home for 5 consecutive years out of eight an opportunity to get into another home, and with that, get a $6,500 Tax Credit!  That's kind of cool.  So now, you get to Sell your Home and get Help getting that New One!!!  There are still some guidelines that will need to be followed; however.

To get all of the information and answers to your questions, please click go to the Federal Housing Tax Credit WebsiteThis area will give you the most precise information to your questions.

As Always, if you need assistance buying or selling a home in the San Antonio area I am ready for the call :o)!  Good luck and Thanks for Reading!!!

It isn't always the beauty contestants who say things that make you say, "Huh?"

I have to giggle at myself once in awhile when I hear something I have just said and have to rearrange the sentence a bit to make sense!

Here are some real goodies.  Enjoy!

Via Terry Chenier (Homelife Glenayre):

 When you have one of those days when your feeling

particularly stupid for having said something with your foot

in your mouth, whip this out and read it and you'll think your a genius.

MEMORABLE QUOTES:

Q. If you could live forever, would you and why?

A. "I would not live forever, because we should not live forever,

because if we were supposed

to live forever, then we would live forever, but we cannot live forever,

which is why I would not live forever.

(Miss Alabama-1994)

"Whenever I watch T.V. and see those poor starving kids all over the world,

I can't help  but cry I mean I'd love to be skinny like that,

but not with all those flies and death and stuff"

(Mariah Carey)

"Smoking kills. If you're killed, you've lost a very important part of life".

(Brooke Shields)

"I've never had major knee surgery on any other part of my body"

(Winston Bennett)

"Outside of killings, Washington has one of the lowest crime rates in the country"

(Major Marion Barry)

"The lowdown scroundrel deserves to be kicked to death by a jackass,

and I'm just the one to do it"

(Congression candidate in Texas)

"Half this game is ninety per cent mental"

(Phillies manager Danny Ozark)

"It isn't pollution that's harming the environment.

It's the impurities in our air and water that are doing it"

(Al Gore)

"I love California. I practically grew up in Phoenix"

(Don Quale)

"We got to ask ourselves: how much clean air do we need?"

(Lee Iacocca)

"We don't necessarily discriminate. We simply exclude certain types of people"

(Gerald Wellman-ROTC instructor)

"Your food stamps will be  stopped effective March because we received

notice that you passed away. May God bless you.

You may re-apply if there is a change in your circumstances"

(Dept. of Social Services-Greenville, S.C.)

"Traditionally, most of Australia's imports come from overseas"

(Keppel Enderberry)

"If someone has a bad heart, they can plug this jack in at night as they go to bed

and it will monitor their heart throughout the night.

And the next morning, when they wake up dead, there'll be a record"

(Mark Fowler-FCC Chairman)

"The word 'genius' isn't applicable in football.

A genius is a guy like,

Norman Einstein"

(Joe Theisman-NFL Q.B.)
