A wetter than normal winter has blessed up with an abundance of brilliant wildflowers in the Temecula Valley. I know they won't last long, so I grabbed my camera and started snapping. The first shots are a few blocks from my house in Murrieta.

This is from the nectarine tree in my backyard.

Then this morning I went to the Santa Rosa Plateau Ecological Reserve. Everything was green and gorgeous. Check out the snow-capped San Bernardino mountains!




I plan on taking more photos before the splendor fades. I love where I live!
It would be my honor to show you the incredible Temecula Valley, a place I’m very proud to call home.

Our nation, though relatively young, is rich in history. Arcadia Publishing has done a phenomenal job with a series of books called Images of America. With more than 3400 titles in the series, chances are pretty good there's a title that chronicles your area's history.
This is a great portrait of my home town. The book covers the early days of Murrieta, its people and commerce and is packed with wonderful photos. It is dedicated to E. Hale Curran, who took many of the photos in the book and collected others. It makes a great coffee table book and an ideal closing gift.

I believe this shot says it all. Here are the newlyweds immediately following what may have been a three minute ceremony on the helipad at Southernmost House in Key West.

My friend Mary, her son Gabriel and I stopped for dinner at the Conch Republic. Raw oysters, conch chowder and key lime pie.... yum! From there we walked the length of Duval Street, from the Atlantic Ocean to the Gulf of Mexico to Tom & Kelly's wedding.



The setting could not have been more idyllic. The weather was perfect. 250 friends of the bride and groom celebrated for about three hours. Our time at Southernmost House ended with a Junkanoo parade down Duval Street to the Bottle Cap bar for more dancing. This is one wedding whose memories I will forever treasure. Tom & Kelly, I wish you lifetime of bliss.

If you take a close look, you'll see the pelican at the top. A lucky catch! I'm in Key West for my best friend Tom Sawyer's wedding. Yes, that is his real name. Meet him once and you will love him. Kelly Capone does. She's marrying him this evening at Key West's renowned Southernmost House.
If you haven't had the pleasure of a visit to Key West, I implore you to do so. A tiny area with 24,000 residents has such an incredible wealth of things to see and do. It is, by the way, America's only frost-free city!

I've been in Indian Wells all week, on the outskirts of Palm Springs. Today I drove to El Paseo and spent about an hour strolling. It reminded me a lot of Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills. Ritzy shops, salons and restaurants every where you turn. If you're ever in the area, it's a great place to pass some time. Not only that, it's a mere hour and a half from Murrieta.
