The Parade of Pumpkins

We saw this eye-catching Halloween decoration at Fountains At Roseville shopping center. This decor was just outside the Whole Foods store as their outdoor holiday decor for Halloween. We just happened to pass by there, and the parade of pumpkins immediately caught our attention, it was so neat! Its not everyday that stores decorate pumpkins outdoors, so i took the opportunity to take a shot and preserve the scenery. Happy Halloween to you. Thank you for visiting here today :-)

Unforgetable White Sand Beach At Carmel By-The-Sea

We went to visit some friends in the Bay Area in California inorder to realize a planned day trip to Santa Cruz Boardwalk. While were there, our friends insisted that we should swing to Carmel By-The-Sea right after visiting Santa Cruz Boardwalk. Without any regrets, we are so glad that we took the chance and spent an extra hour travelling towards Carmel By-The-Sea, which is located few minutes away from Monterey, California.

Carmel By-The-Sea awaits stunning angle of the pacific ocean. With its fine white sand, nice blue ocean, and less crowded atmosphere, it is definitely a great place to unwind, relax and enjoy the popular California weather, that everyone sought after! The sand was safe and pretty clean allowing us to freely kick off our slippers and enjoy the natural exfoliating effect of the sandy shore.

And if you have a pet dog and would like to bring her/him to the beach, Carmel By-The-Sea area is a very dog-friendly beach. While strolling along the beach, I could see a lot of unleashed pet dogs walking side-by-side with their owners and some occasionally playing with the waves. So instead of leaving your dog behind in your home or a pet boarding house while you wish to unwind and getaway from hectic works and busy lifestyle, why not enjoy a vacation with your dog instead?

If beautiful views and stunning beach doesnt concenvince you, dont despair, there are tons of shopping opportunities at Carmel By-The-Sea. Just a few minutes walk from the beach are really cool shops and boutiques to check out. The area has a small town feel with lots to offer for locals, tourists and visitors. Great dining and lodging are also abundant in the area. So if you are anywhere near northern CA, in the Bay Area, or anywhere in mainland USA and is looking for a great beach getaway, Carmel by-The-Sea offers you great alternative for a more relaxing beach vacation without being so far away from shopping and activities.

Frog Sporting A Cool Hair Style

We have this frog figurine (see photo) that spit water from the pond filter tubing back to the water pond. The frog was originally dark silver when we bought it, but we decided to paint it green so it will stand out more in our yard. One winter, it was freezing and icy outside, and our water pond was full of icy snow. And then I found our fountain frog sporting a cool icy hair style, looking like a mohaulk hair-do! Im posting above a snapshot of the frog that cold winter day.

Behind The Scene

My name is JazeVox, I maintain and created this blog. I am a blogchaholic, in other words, I own several blogs in variety of topics which I try to maintain on regular basis.

I like photography a lot! My hubby sometimes thinks Im nuts when he sees me click and then click and then click again with my digital camera, that he gave me few years ago. But then, i hear him murmured few times that the digital camera is definitely the best buy/gift that he ever given me, because I use it all the time, and I love having it with me all the time. Just for the record, I love my laptop too, but i hate it when it slows down and do crappy things like hang.

Ill be around, blogging a lot, hopefully you stop by and visit me again.

Hope to see you around,
JazeVox, The Blogger
