Dreamy Matilija Poppy (May 2016)

Used HDR , Elements, and Nik software for this. Background is "Scenic Point" path on 154 near Cachuma Lake. The poppy is in my alleyway at home. These poppies are big and beautiful, resembling "fried eggs"

50's Woody Packard, Vincent Vineyard, Santa Ynez, CA (May, 2016)

Saw this beautiful vintage Auto as I was driving by Sunday on my way to Los Olivos.

I had to stop and turn around to get some pics of this beauty. The clouds we great background too.

Vincent Vineyards. I'll have to come back for a tasting sometime.

The house and vineyard behind the car:

Hendry's beach (4/20/16)

My favorite Beach in SB. It's very laid back. Dogs run free on the south side of the beach.

The tide was way out that day, exposing big rock and tide pools. I like the color pics but also played with Black and White.

Crow..one of my fav. birds. Unusual to see at beach.

Looking North:

Cachuma Lake Fish Derby 4-17-16

Took the drive over the Mt. to Lake Cachuma Fishing Derby on Sunday.  I used to be a big fisherwoman years ago when I lived in Fla., so I was interested.
These two cuties so proud of their fish:
