Get in shape - follow the trails to the S.F.B. Morse Botanical Reserve in the hills of the Del Monte Forest in Pebble Beach. This 86-acre woodland oasis was referred to as “Evolution Hill” and was nearly destroyed in the 1960s if not for the intervention of California Native Plant Society established by G. Ledyard Stebbins – a botanist and geneticist and widely known as evolutionary biologists of the 20th century.

Already known for its culture, natural environment and involvement in creating sustainable community, Monterey is also famous for its many historical attractions and notable personalities who were born, lived or live here.
One of the many famous personalities is Nick Cunningham, a 2010 Winter Olympics member of Team USA Bobsledder. Nick is known to be in the history of the United States as the baddest bull riding, gut pounding, bobsled driver.

Oh Deer Me !
Honey have you met the neighbors yet? No deer. I am not sure of this neighborhood. Oh I think it is safe. It is called Spring Tree and the Quarry Lane area is safe. It is just down from Pogonip and UCSC. Oh, well lets take a stroll in the neighborhood with the family and look at some Santa Cruz homes.
Honey where are all the fawns ?
Ok there they are, well then lets head on up Spring Street and see what there is to munch on up at Pogonip or should we go take them for a drink at Mc Granahans pond?
As you know folks Santa Cruz is weird and weird things happen here. This was about noon in mid July 2010 when I was about to turn on Quarry to look at a home and ran into this congestion.…
Santa Cruz stormy weather: Santa Cruz Spas and Stoves the place to keep warm in stormy weather in your Santa Cruz home
Tuesday, January 26th, 2010 at 1:47pm. 266 Views, 0 Comments.
The stormy weather reminds me of the fun and excitement that winter brings here to Santa Cruz, Ca.Real estate owners have some concern as the storms cause unexpected havoc. While storm can be a blessing, they can be a curse too.
The Santa Cruz home buyers I have represented recently have had their roof's and gutters inspected or replaced as necessary. Cleaning out the gutters of your Santa Cruz home is important so they don't fill up and overflow and sometimes cause ceiling damage from water intrusion back into the home.I am sure that many will check their water drainage systems to see how they can be made functional again. Windy storms can plug up drains with leaves, branches can fall and take out gutters,and drains can get clogged on the ground, and if…
Capitola Beach smoking ban spreads; Capitola beach restaurants join, are homes next?

Captola Beach Smoking Ban extends range
While the ban on smoking on the beach in Capitola has been in effect for awhile, the city council took divided action to enact a smoking ban in the majority of the touristy parts of Capitola.Homes are still a safe haven for the addicted, but the outdoor and indoor smoking bans are becoming more common.
While Capitola real estate is largely unaffected by such a ban, there is undeniable dislike from the buying public in general for homes that have been occupied by smokers.For those who come to the beach to relax or enjoy a meal, smelling smoke is an unpleasant experience.
The areas that will be affected are the general downtown areas of the Capitola esplanade, starting from near the Venetians, and around to…
Rio Del Mar beach battered by the storms: Seacliff Beach..... where is it?
Wednesday, October 14th, 2009 at 8:47pm. 3241 Views, 0 Comments.
Out on my morning stroll along Rio Del Mar beach I noticed the aftermath of the recent Santa Cruz storm. Aptos Creek was flowing well, getting rid of all the alluvial deposits from this past year. It finally had a straight shot to the ocean along Rio Del Mar beach. It seems all this year it had serpentined its way all around the sand, making for mucky water wading for all the get to the spits of sand nearest the water.
Today as I strolled along with an occasional mist, I came upon more carnage that I have seen in years. Well this storm did not seem to top monsters I recall, maybe it was one for the time of year. It did dump alot of rain and leave me and many others with Rio Del Mar homes without power. Some places branches were down, one inland lavvy…

The Alzheimers Memory Walk in Santa Cruz was held at Seascape. It was a lovely day and attended by about 500+ people. The day was sunny and the crowd resolute and engaging. This fun event had participants of all ages, which was great to see.
Starting off the march was no less than Dan Nicholas, a long term care insurance and seniors advocate leading the charge. Dan does alot in the senior community and that was how I met him as a Seniors Real Estate Specialist( SRES) working on issues such as this.
Kathleen McBurney did another great job with her staff and worked tirelessly and a big kudos to her!!!
Other notables in attenence was Barbara of Sunshine Villa of Santa Cruz which has a great memory care facility in Santa Cruz, with ocean views in some…
How to Start Recycling At Your Capitola Real Estate

How to Start Recycling
There’s a saying that goes something along the lines of “we’re borrowing this planet from our children,” which, when you think about it, is very true. The trouble is, we don’t seem to be taking very good care of it, and when we do give it back, it’s not going to be in very good shape. At least not if we carry on the way we have been. So I think by now, most of us know we are on borrowed time, but what to do?
The average American, according to research, generates around twenty two pounds of garbage every day, most of which ends up in landfills, or in the ocean here in Capitola, Ca. If you’re interested in starting to recycle at your Capitola real estate, and giving your kids a planet that's worth having, then read…
