Where's the Goose?
Today was one of my favorite days of the year!
The Santa Barbara Summer Solstice Celebration.
This is one of the few parades I really try not to
miss.
I like the Big Dogs Parade too, but I really
go to that one to spot Basset Hounds.
Of course, today I was looking for the goose that
produced these eggs, but they wisely must have left her at home. :-D
These eggs are called "Cascarones," and they are a Mexican/Spanish
carnival tradition (they may even have roots in Italy.)
It is customary to break them over your friends' heads.

Poppy Pollen
There are not may California Poppies
blooming at the moment. But the ones that
are sure do put on a nice show.
It was the pollen that attracted me to this particular
flower.

Cup of Fire
Another red California Poppy. The dark areas are not shadows, this flower was in full sunlight. That is actually the color of this one.
