Real estate in the San Antonio metro area, the foothills of the Texas Hill Country, and on the Guadalupe River. My market area includes the northern half of San Antonio (Alamo Heights, Fort Sam Houston, Shavano Park, Hollywood Park, and Stone Oak) and northeast (Randolph AFB, Universal City, Windcrest, Schertz, and Cibolo) to New Braunfels, Seguin, and Canyon Lake, including Bexar, Guadalupe, and Comal Counties. My blog also covers photography; houses and homes; investments and rental properties; pets and wildlife; birds, butterflies, and flowers in my organic garden; travel; fun stuff; and whatever else takes my fancy.

First I check out the obvious foreclosures and distress properties, but there is...

I got a new camera for Christmas, and it has made taking macro shots a lot easier. I can't make butterflies sit still, so I have to take 10 shots for every usable one (see the previous blog post), but things that don't move around too much are easy.

The first gulf fritillary of spring appeared in my organic garden yesterday!

I followed this one around for a while, but she didn't settle on ...

It's close to shopping, places of worship, movie theaters, bakeries, and restaurants like Cool Cafe, one of my favorites! It is in a convenient, yet quiet, location near Shavano Park and south of Loop 1604. The nei...
