Santa Barbara

Just before Christmas, I took off in my RV, ultimately going to the desert. On the way, one of my stops was Santa Barbara. Coming from Missoula, Montana, where there are NO flowers this time of year except at the grocery store, I was delighted to see flowers all over town. Here are a few shots. The flowers in the first picture were just ordinary lavender flowers - ho hum. So I found some effects I like.

What a terrific series, Cathryn! I particularly like what you did with #1, the vignette + brighter center.

What a beautiful series of photos you submitted. I live in the SB area. If you are this way again please feel free to PM me and let me know you are coming. Possibly, if you like, we could meet up for coffee and I could show you some of the many photographic sights to take advantage of.

Very nice set Cathy. I really like the first one. It looks like a watercolor. These are all good looking images.

What a lovely find, Cathryn, and beautiful shots as well! I love the palm (?) with the little 'tendrils'.

Thank you for the wonderful comment, Dennis! I lived in Santa Barbara a little over thirty years ago, and have some relatives by marriage who still live there. I was there to see one in particular.
I would enjoy meeting you for coffee, and will probably be back there next June. While there, I hope to be able to spend some time taking pictures.

Thank you so much, Carol! After having lived in Montana for so long, it was a real treat to see flowers blooming nearly everywhere.
