Monarch & Zinnia
I really love the background in this image. It is a bit abstract.
And the low aperture that makes the background so interesting
made the butterfly's wings just out of focus enough
to look like they are fluttering a bit.

Zen Pool
This feels a bit like a Japanese print to me. Hence, the name!
I was a bit late with this picture of the day, it was the last
day of the Art Walk at the Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History.
And, more importantly, my dad's birthday. He is visiting to help
out with the show, so it is a good opportunity to head to
"The Palace" (my favorite restaurant) to celebrate. After we recover
from the show of course!

Carmel Lilies
Ahh September was a busy month, and I got a little behind.
When that happens I like to come back and put things in these
spaces for those of you who come looking. (Oh, and if you haven't
found it yet, there is a link in the upper right corner to a
calendar that displays thumbnails of the photos.)
This is a different view on the lilies in
the photo of the day from April 22.
I usually carry a number of lenses with me, especially in a
beautiful place like Carmel. And, I rarely take one shot
from one angle. I have learned from taking photos with my best friend
to explore as many angles as possible.

Lily Pads
This one, as with many of my photos, was only
walking distance from my front door.

Succulent Garden
There is a great
little store in a
shopping center called The BarnYard
in Carmel. Every time we go I bring a few new plants home with me.
Last time I got a beautiful new Epiphyllum (Orchid Cactus)
to keep my other ones company.
This photo is a close-up of a little display they had in the shopping center.

One from the Pepper Patch
This is one of my little pepper plants living
in a hanging basket in my back yard. One of
my favorite restaurants (Los Arroyos, on Figueroa in Santa Barbara)
makes, among other things, some incredible salsas.
One of which is made from Habaneros, one of the
hottest peppers. After getting used to eating their
blazing salsa I decided I loved the flavor
of this little pepper as well as the kick
it gives things. So I had to start a little
pepper patch in my back yard. Trouble was,
I did not want my muse to get into the plants
on one of her evening perimeter checks of the back yard.
So they are safely tucked away well out of her reach in
a hanging basket.

Fern Curl
I'm getting ready for a really busy weekend of shows,
Actually, from what I have heard, the start of a busy season.
The Santa Barbara Arts and Crafts show
is having
another Saturday show at the beach for the holiday.
So I have been organizing my photos in preparation.
This is one of about 65 prints I take on the road with me.
(of course I am always watching for the opportunity to
increase my stock :-) and there are plenty of opportunities
in such a beautiful place!)
If you are in the neighborhood of Cabrillo and Cesar Chavez this
weekend, be sure to stop in and say hi!

Morning Light
Well it's a very late image of the day.
I have been preparing for tomorrow, my first time at
the Santa Barbara Arts and Crafts Show
(more commonly known as the Sunday Art Walk on the Beach)
in Downtown Santa Barbara. So I am a little behind.
This leaf is one of my earlier photos and it is just one
of the prints that will be available for sale at the show and soon
on my main site.
Oh and, HAPPY BIRTHDAY to... well, you know who you are!!! :0)
