I parked near this whimsical fencing in downtown Santa Barbara...
|
... and enjoyed a lovely Mexican meal...
|
.... but never did find the circus!
|
|
Somehow this sign seems right for stereotypical California :-)
|
Then I drove to the beach and, with help from Dave on the phone...
|
... I found this huge fig tree.
|
|
These happy guys welcome you to the Santa Barbara pier.
|
I like how the stop sign punctuates this view.
|
At the end of the pier.
|
|
The view back to the shore shows the palm trees to which I was just about accustomed.
|
I wish everyone made it so easy to find their dances!
|
And here it is: the famous sprung floor in Santa Barbara! Great dance, yep it was.
|
|
This outrageous flower (bird of paradise?) is everywhere!
|
How can one flower have so many different vibrant colors?
|
It's fun to see my name in wood :-)
