The Big Dog parade - a local favorite, and another excuse for a festival
on State Street! |

It's nice to have Amtrak service right at our door. The trips through
the mountains to Seattle and along the coast to San Diego are beautiful,
and relaxing compared to driving. |

On our way to a hair appointment for Ellen, happened on a small gallery
where some works by friend Jack Mohr were displayed. |

A Santa Barbara weekend late-morning; news, chips/salsa, margarita
and good weather. Only that empty chair... |

Refugio beach in the sunshine. We were scouting a start and end point
for a kayak trip along the coast. |

And here's El Capitan beach, the kayak destination. A good place to
find mussels on the rocks in season; we've had some parties with amazing
amounts of fresh-steamed mussels! |

There are some birds in the distance, hovering over a large pod of
dolphin,
in a feeding frenzy. One dolphin can be seen leaping into the school of
fish the pod has "herded" into a small area. Amazing to watch. |

Ellen fell in love with these critters, which are made by a Santa Barbara-area
artist. We see him on weekends at the arts/crafts sidewalk tent sale at
the beach. |

One of our Perfume Delight roses; just trying out photo opportunities
-- maybe will enter a slide in the American Rose Society contest! The gardener
promises to graft a rose just for us; he has beautiful bushes growing at
Bob's office building. |
