Santa Cruz CA

Those clouds look like a scene from the Antarctic! Amazing!

Great photo! I absolutely love Santa Cruz! I used to go there all the time when I lived in San Jose and Fremont.

Thanks for the comments :) Santa Cruz is a lovely little town.

I really love Capitola also...it's even smaller than Santa Cruz...however, has some nice little restaurants.

I always used to go to Antonelli Bros Begonia Nursery in Santa Cruz to buy my cane begonias and Congo Impatiens. Do you know if this nursery is still there?

I used to live in Capitola, years ago. It's a very cute little town, especially the village. It's kind of a pain to drive through...so much traffic nowadays!! All these years living in this area and I've never seen the Begonia Festival/ Parade... I went to high school with a guy named Chris Antonelli. His dad was the owner back then. Last time I visited nursery (years ago) it looked pretty shabby. I see they have 2 listings online, one in Capitola and 1 in Watsonville...so I assume they're still in business.

How interesting! It must have been very nice to live in Capitola. It's such a quaint little town!

I did see the website for Atonelli's however, I heard a few years back the nursery had closed.

Thanks for the information! :>)
