Palomar Mountain News

Escape to a very private, charming cabin with a knotty pine lining the walls throughout.  An inviting nature trail meanders through the nearly two acres of land.  The trail takes you past a tree house to a very special place with front row seats amid big, beautiful boulders.  Look out to an Observatory view while watching for deer, wild turkeys and listening to a magnificent chorus of birds!  See more details at www.palomarproperties.com/cabins the let’s take off on a nature walk.

Pete and Holly are almost on their way to North Dakota with their two dogs and up until a couple of hours ago, Holly’s favorite cat of all times, Rosebud.  Rosebud had just been let out of his carrier to stretch his legs up at the Round House when he slipped out of his bridle and took off like a bolt of lightning.  Rosebud lived for many years at Holly’s “Blue Haven” on Bailey Road so might be around Bailey’s.  Or, since it is now well past dinner time, he just may be headed toward their former cabin at the end of Crestline.  Pete and Holly will leave the first thing in the morning and would love to take Rosebud with them. However, if he isn’t back in Holly’s arms before they go, they would appreciate hearing any news so please “Comment” or call with sightings of this much-loved Rosebud.

Thank you, Bonnie Phelps

Two more exciting workshops scheduled on Palomar Mountain.  Come and join us!

Outdoor and Nature Photography Workshop on Palomar Mountain
Saturday, June 5 •  5:00 AM – 4:00 PM
Join veteran nature and landscape photographers Ernie and Kati Cowan for an exciting day of shooting and learning on a private mountain ranch on Palomar Mountain. The day begins early when you will learn how to capture the subtle pastels of a mountain sunrise over a scenic lake. Following breakfast on your own we will travel a short distance to a serene mountain meadow that we will have all to ourselves.

In this natural classroom, participants will join in workshops on nature and landscape photography, macro techniques and outdoor portraiture. You will have plenty of time for individual shooting as well as one-on-one time with instructors. The focus of this class is to take you beyond snapshots and to expand your creativity as a photographic artist.
