Santa Barbara, CA at the end of March, 2009


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 :-)
