Homes and Gardens in San Carlos

7 05 2009

This post is from my walk yesterday morning. Most who know me know I am silly over things that are pretty. I love flowers and pretty landscapes. I like homes that are interesting and colorful that combine the outdoors with the indoors as each is important. I’m a big fan of the decorative arts and curves of all manor. San Carlos has some lovely places to live. It appears that this is opne of those places where it doesn’t matter how much money you have your hame can have pretty flowers and interesting things done with concrete. I may do a few more walks like this during the trip as there are so many pretty neighborhoods. At some point I hope to go to some real estate offices and do some research into the actuals of pricing here. After all that is my day job and I do have a client for this area.

It looks as though I will have some inspiring photos to draw or paint/color from. When I was younger I would have just set myself up on-site and painted. But these days I’ve been gathering inspirations with my camera and using them later.

San Carlos has some beautiful homes. The modest and the magnificent are often equally lovely. I am staying at a modest one and got a screaming deal!My humble accomodations

There is a beach just 2 blocks from here. An easy walk. 

Here are some pictures from the beach yesterday evening.

( My camera has dust in the lens, and there is nothing to do about it right now. Unless I photoshop them out…maybe another day)

The weather has been fabulous. Warm , but not killer hot, and sunny :)
