Riverside Historical Home $252,500- Just Closed Escrow
I recently sold this great 1925 Craftsman style home in the "Downtown Historical District" of Riverside.

Just Got to Brag that UCLA Won...Hooray
Last night one of the great football games was played again and for the third year in a row, UCLA won and this time it was a landslide USC 20- UCLA 38.

Taking Hummingbird Photos with Smart Phones...Not

Yesterday I was picking up my dogs at 'Doggy Day Care' and this hummingbird was right beside me buzzing around. I took 6 pictures with my smart phone and 4 were missing the bird completely. 

The top one shows the bird and the second one shows the edge of the bird on the left. I suggest that you always try to have your camera as smart phones are slower and I find that nature is quicker. 

 
Note, it did not come out too bad but not up to my normal hummingbird … (22 comments)
