Bells of the Valley

This was a beautiful little flower we found during a recent walk. It did not last long though, the next time we went back it was gone. Luckily I have a good way to save it.   :-D

Pink Bells

Not sure exactly what kind of flower it is. (This is one of the rare times that the Internet has let me down!) But I like it... the flower that is... not the Internet... well I like that too, but you know what I mean! :-D

Yes, as a matter of fact I am posting very late at night and I am past ready for sleep!

La Purisima Mission Bell

This was taken the first day experimenting with a new present, a polarizing filter. It made the sky much more intense.

There is a never-ending supply of wonderful subjects at the California missions.

Santa Barbara Sunset

This is a little different angle on an image from a couple weeks ago. Santa Barbara's business area was virtually flattened by a 6.3 earthquake in 1925. When they rebuilt, they took the opportunity to enforce a strict "Spanish style" building code. It has made for a really nice feel to the downtown area to this day.

Courthouse Bell

I have a customer that was looking for images of the Courthouse for her father for Father's day. I have a few that I pulled out to make prints for her for this weekend.

But, as I was driving home yesterday evening, the colors of the sunset were particularly golden from the residual "June Gloom" in the air.

So I stopped by the courthouse and got a few nice images of which, this one is my favorite. It is a different angle on a highly recognizable building, and I will be interested to find out how many people realized it even had an exposed bell!
