A lovely old tree. |

Skull and crossbones to keep evil out. |

Afterwards, we drove higher up the hill and saw the
distressing remains of houses burnt in the fires of May 2009. |
 |
back on the beach: what swims here?
Jaws? No, I think not. |

This was a nice public beach a few miles
nrth of town:
El
Capitan. We ate our picnic lunch here and just enjoyed the views. |

More Pelicans. |

Jean and i making another one of those
holiday big decisions: where to go for dinner? |
 |
 |
Decision made! |
So that was our experience of Santa
Barbara. A very pleasant town with lots to keep a cameraholic like me
busy. Next, we start our return to base
(San Fran) via the delightful small town of Carmel.
It seemed to be a haven for dog
lovers... |
