The Many Faces You May Encounter When Buying A Home In San Diego

Buying a home in San Diego has many special benefits. Often when relocating to a new city, a family may not know very many of the faces that will great them in their new city. To make sure our families feel at home the moment they move here, we make sure that they have the opportunity to see many familiar faces.

So what is the natural human reaction to meeting a familiar face ? It makes you smile. And San Diego provides many welcoming smiles for our new home owners and residents. Smiling makes a person feel Happy. And San Diego is the Place where Happy Happens everyday of the week. Just take a look at some of these familiar faces and see if it doesn't make you smile and feel welcome.

I was just down in SD a few weeks ago and we got out to the Wild Animal Park. That's a great place and a huge asset for San Diego. It's like going on safari but without having to fly to Africa.

Hi Susan, It seemed fool proof to count on these greeters as some pretty cool ambassadors of the city.

Hi Bryan, It is so much more like a safari today than at any time I ever remember. Each year this park improves and just gets better and better.

What a great slide show, just fantastic. I have not seen one done that way at all.

Woo Hoo, Thank you so much. I also happen to love your photos just the same way. You really could work for the tourism dept. Anyway for me, it was a labor of love to learn the needed skills to be a good photographer. I will be so happy for you when your first grand baby arrives and you will on top of the world. :-)

HI Sandy, The slide show is part of the pro version of Picnik.com. I think it is $29 per year and worth the price as a complete photo editing or slide show program.

William, I've never been to San Diego. You make it sound very inviting. Nice photos!

Hi Marc, Thanks for dropping by. That would be no surprise. The Zoo and Safari Parks are a huge asset in the county and an inspiration to many of us who live here.

Aug 17, 2011 02:50 AM

Hi Michael, You should plan a visit. But be warned, doing so could cause you to fall in love with the place, :-)

Hi Debra, Thank You so much, always love it when you drop by. The scrolling frame is one found in Picnik.com the pro version at $29.00 per year. Very inexpensive and certainly an easy to use photo post processing program. Check it out!

Hi Lynn, I am guessing you mean the slide show. It was done with Picnik.com show feature. As for taking the photos, just point the camera lens at the subject, focus, compose and snap the photo. It helps to have good lighting and cooperative animals though, LOL.
