Winter in Rockridge

Just when I was getting all excited about the the groundhog predicting an early spring, here are some wintry photos I took back in December in Rockridge. Not exactly a winter wonderland, but this is California, so what did you expect?

I love the Rockridge neighborhood. It’s full of cute homes and shops and cafes and restaurants and it’s quaint and perfect in every way. Do you have a neighborhood like that near where you live? Or perhaps you live in a neighborhood like this yourself?

I love walking around this neighborhood during the early evening in the wintertime. I can smell dinner cooking and fireplaces running. Lights start to flicker on and for a moment, everything seems right. Sometimes I think I’d like to live here, but then I worry it would spoil the specialness of these little trips to this little neighborhood.

      Those beautiful pictures have a great atmosphere! I wish we had in The Netherlands more neighborhoods like this. And I wish I lived in it!

    2. I definitely have a little seaside village close to where I stay that Rockridge reminds me of.

      I love quiet, comfortable neighborhoods like this. There’s this place a half hour away from me that is just wonderful to stroll around. It isn’t quite charming, but it has this unique flair that is just irresistible.

      Lovely photos.

      I love craftsman homes! I just moved to a neighborhood full of them and spend hours walking around with my dog, just admiring the architecture.
