Alice Keck New Years Day
Ahh winter in Santa Barbara! This is from an evening walk on New Years day through Alice Keck Parks' Park (Alice Keck Park Memorial Gardens).

Alice Keck Panorama

A couple days ago I was working on a particularly
difficult statistics problem. (mmm math what a concept.)
In the midst of my preparations to fling my computer out the window
my wife suggested a nice walk at Alice Keck Park Memorial Gardens.
Or as we like to call it... Alice Keck Park Park.
The clouds were beautiful and it was a wonderful evening.
I wish I could say I came home and solved the problem right away,
but at least I got a lot of really beautiful shots out of
it. And I was much happier continuing on my statistics project.
Oh yeah, I've also been tinkering with some other images that are not my own. I have not been able to figure out how to get my own camera there yet so I had to work with what was available.

Conducting Duck
She looks like she is conducting an orchestra. Or perhaps directing traffic? Either way she is really into what she is doing. She was actually alternating between stretching and flapping hard and I got her in mid-flap.

Duck Taking Flight
I think these are the same ducks from our last trip to the gardens! I think she said something to insult the Koi. Because the Koi jumped out of the water near her and made her take off like this. Of course I can't say I blame her. The Koi was twice her size!

Alice's Ducks
We had another nice walk through Alice Keck Park
Memorial Gardens today. (Commonly mistaken as just
Alice Keck Park. As in Alice Keck's park, but her name was
Alice Keck Park, and it is her Memorial Garden.) I only
point this out because it was not entirely clear to me
until today. Actually, I guess I just never thought about it
before today.
So, on to the Ducks. They were chasing each other
around the pond the whole time we were there.
Ahhh, spring is here! :-D

Lake Los Carneros
There are some places that you can live right next to and never
know they are there. The Monarch
Butterfly Overwintering spot
in Santa Barbara is one of them, and this is another.
I know I am not the only one that is surprised by this place.
Last week at the Art Walk I listened to a "Local" tell his
friends from out of town that this was the bird refuge, right down the
street from where we were standing (which, of course, it is not).
Where I was standing to take this picture, I had my back to the
101 Freeway about 50 feet away, right near the Los Carneros exit.
But, due to the rolling land and the
trees, you would never have any idea it was here.
Fortunately there is a good adult education program here
that has some excellent nature hikes.
