Beautiful "Creekspirit", Santa Barbara ( www.creekspirit.org )

I'm a recent member of Creekspirit. We have a lunch at Creekspirit monthly, put on by the members,
and have a speaker with wildlife or conservation topic. We also have a fundraiser yearly to support wildlife causes.
 I first noticed this beautiful log domed structure on Mission Canyon road one day when I first moved to Santa Barbara, while  I was photographing wildflowers on the road.  I'm very glad to be a part of it now.

 Creekspirit was founded in 2003 by artist Patti Jacquemain,

a long-time Santa Barbara resident with a lifelong interest in wildlife and the natural world. It is an outgrowth of Jacquemain's personnal commitment and concern for wild animals found not only in California but those found throughout the West.

 The Creekspirit Wildlife Foundation's mission is to provide private support to preserve the wildlife of California and the West.

Goslings, Spring in Buffalo

The bright green of Spring in Buffalo was a lovely surprise. Especially since we are having a dry spell at my home in CA.

 

 

 

Baby Goslings so cute and fluffy!
