The Station fire started In La Canada Flintridge, and has now moved straight through the Angeles National Forest and is burning in Acton. I had to look at the map to keep my mind around this. Acton is the upper marker.  La Canada Flintridge is the lower marker. View Larger Map

I can see the San Gabriel Mountains from the upstairs window of my home; this was my vantage point yesterday evening as I witnessed the progress of the La Canada Flintridge fire. This photo of a giant smoke cloud was taken at approximately 6:50PM PDT.   This photo was talken at approximately 7:30PM PDT.  The flames have now crossed the ridge.  (Note the shot is zoomed in closer - compare the size of the palm tree in the foreground.)   This photo was taken at approximately 7:50PM PDT, just an hour after the first photo:   Infomation on La Canada Flintridge here.

La Canada, California is an upscale "Leave It To Beaver" type of community about 18 miles north of downtown Los Angeles, nestled in the foothills of the lovely San Gabriel Mountains.  La Canada is home to Jet Propulsion Laboratories "JPL" and also the abode of many entertainment and music industry heavy-weights with young families. Kathryn Hansen lives here with her two daughters, and works as a Real Estate Administrator for Re/Max Tri-City La Canada.  She is also a very accomplished artist with many talents, not the least of which is Pet Portraits.   At first glance, these appear to be extremely fine black-and-white photos. Actually, they are pencil- on-paper original drawings! Kathryn manages to capture both the personality of her subject and the love of the pet owner in these intimat...

We've heard the axiom "A staged home is a sold home"- and this is very true. Staging is all about preparing THE PROPERTY for sale, showcasing it in the best possible light, to appeal to the broadest range of prospects. I've developed a list to explain the staging process, called the Ten Keywords of Staging: 1. Clean 2. De-Cluttered 3. Non-personal 4. Updated 5. Upscale 6. Flowing Floorplan 7. Usable Space 8. Warm 9. Inviting 10. Exciting Today we'll talk about Steps#1 through#3 CLEAN, DE-CLUTTERED, NON-PERSONAL.  Think of it as "Selling your house with a KISS" (Keep It Simple, Silly!) But then of course, SIMPLE is not always EASY...... Nobody wants to deal with another person's dirt, grime, odors, clutter, or personal agendas. Yet, you know if you've been living in your home, it's inevi...

  As we begin the new year, it is time to take time to reflect on what to do for more balance in our lives. One way that might be beneficial is to take advantage of your neighborhood parks. In my neighborhood near my office at Dilbeck Realtors in La Canada, there are a number of parks that can give you a moment's peace on your lunch hour, or a place to walk your dog or play with your kids. One such place is Descanso Gardens in La Canada-Flintridge.  Today I took a walk there and had lunch. It was a beautiful winter day with very few people out so I had the picnic area all to myself. It was a great way to unwind, commune with nature, and get some exercise. I highly recommend this park to anyone who loves flowers. In the winter, their most popular area is the Camellia gardens. It is just ...
