Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church Sanctuary
This is an iconic little church out in Montecito, California. It's image has popped up everywhere from album covers to advertising according to the nice people in the office. It is a wonderful example of south-western architecture. It seems like it would not be out of place in the middle of the desert, or southern Mexico somewhere.

Reclining Agave and Poppies
It's easy to get an interesting photograph
when you find good contrast in your subjects.
And I'm not just talking about the lighting.
The delicate flowers with the backdrop of the
imposing-looking Agave makes for a nice
composition. And yet, there are similarities
between the graceful curves of this particular
Agave and the soft curves of the flowers
that make this composition work particularly
well.

Tequila on the Hoof
Well, probably not really Tequila fixin's. I don't think it's not that kind of Agave
and this one in particular has a safe home at
the Santa Barbara
Botanic Garden.
I like the color of this plant, more blue-gray than most Agave. The
older outer leaves make interesting patterns on the new inner leaves
making many interesting photographic opportunities.
Like my Orchid Cactus the Agave
are commonly pollinated by bats.
