Here on the West Coast, we have been experiencing rain storms in the past few weeks. Unfortunately our water levels are still only half way so I hope we continue to get more or we will have a drought this summer. Here are some pictures of our latest rain.
Rain does not keep up from conducting business so here I am driving to Rancho Cucamonga to show property on Sunday afternoon.
I got this picture near the Ontario Airport at the Ontario Auto Center. It still amazes me how such … (16 comments)
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 … (6 comments)
Oh Nuts...Nuts and More Nuts Everywhere!! This morning while driving in Loma Linda, CA, I was noticing all the birds flying, the squirrels jumping on the trees and all the sounds coming from outside my window. Here was a cute little fellow eating nuts.
Then in a huge tree about 300 Feet High I noticed this bird. Not sure if it is an owl or a hawk but it was huge. I took one picture but it flew off as I tried to get a better one.
These pictures taken in Loma Linda, CA. … (18 comments)

short sales kristin hamilton real estate agent: What is Hiding Behind the Light Post?
- 03/02/12 04:08 AM
What is Hiding Behind the Light Post? While sitting in my office and looking out the window towards the beautiful hills of Loma Linda, CA I notice something moving behind this light post that is taller than any of the two story homes in this area.
No maybe not?
Well, there is a tail!
Now I see you. What is on the top of the light post? An orange?
This area has many orange groves and the birds like to find the oranges and carry them around for snacks.
but....look what the dogs drug into the house this morning!
They were so excited when I started screaming and yelling so they dropped the rat and ran. My husband moved it out of the house and then I ran and got my camera. We put it outside to take a photo … (20 comments)

short sales kristin hamilton real estate agent: The Little Yellow Bird
- 02/27/12 06:00 AM
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 … (18 comments)
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 … (18 comments)
I have to be totally honest, I had never heard of Mourning Doves until I posted pictures of what I thought was a shaggy Pigeon. But Gloria Todor of ActiveRain's “Birds” group told me she thought these birds were Mourning Doves. Of course, after researching it, I found Gloria was right!
I found this species of doves is very popular and prevalent across the nation. Who would have known?
These birds seem to be frequent squatters in the Inland Empire but I see them all over in Loma Linda, Highland and Redlands.

short sales kristin hamilton real estate agent: Walking in the Sand
- 02/24/12 01:11 AM
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.
Warning! Real Estate agents need to be aware of any red flags at their listings/buyers perspective homes as well.
Many plants or trees can cause sickness or death to children, pets, wildlife, farm animals and also to adults. It is important to rid our homes of poisonous plants and teach our children and pets not to taste or eat any plants. Also the berries can be very tempting and … (14 comments)
While driving home last night in San Bernardino County, as I looked to the west as far as I could see, the sun was just about to set. The beautiful colors of the red fireball was almost down. The light from the cities were so beautiful so I wanted to share this photo. It was so magnificent in person but of course hard to photograph as such a distance. While looking upon this site I thought today is almost over and tomorrow will be even more beautiful and filled with excitement and new … (18 comments)
