 Natural Ridgeline in San Jaun
Capistrano by cnango
Any homes you see that appear to be built on the top of the hills are actually located in the neighboring Dana Point and Laguna Niguel.
I am so glad San Jaun Capistrano has protected its beautiful rolling hills. I hope they continue to resist the mega million dollar offers they get from Developers. Bravo San Jaun Capistrano and may other California cities follow your fine example ! Leave a Comment

 Bell Lights on the Royal Road
being erected. by cnango, 3 more photos
In the City of San Jaun Capistrano you can see these bell shaped lights on almost all its main streets. This is to honor the Mission and the first road in California, the El Camino Real,which means 'The Royal Highway' in Spanish. Leave a Comment

 junco awaits return of his
swallow friends by zrim
Each year the swallows build mud nests under the eaves of the old mission buildings and they spend the spring and summer laying eggs, incubating and then raising their young. In late October the swallows leave the protection of the mission and spend the winter in the far reaches of Patagonia.
By the way, the bird in the photo is a junco not a swallow. I visited the mission about three weeks prior to the return of the swallows. Leave a Comment

 Bad boys need to spend some
time here by keida84
Another entry that tickled us was the night before we witnessed on several occasions the San Juan Capistrano Police driving up and down the streets, reving their engines and driving very fast. The California Highway patrol and the Sherrif's never displayed the "hot dogging" actions of the SJC police. So when I picked up the newspaper and read in the police blotter that near San Juan Creek Road a caller reported juveniles being loud and racing their vehicles, well I could not help thinking perhaps those "juveniles" were the SJC police instead!

On Wednesdays from 3 pm - 6 pm locals go to the Downtown Farmer Market.
You can find it at Yorba Street and Camino Capistrano. You can purchase fresh flowers, produce, and specialty foods. It isnt very big but you can get a good deal on some of the items here. We walked through this little market on the street and the flowers were beautiful.
