San Francisco Hills

We moved! We no longer are in the center of the city of San Francisco. We are still in the city but a couple of miles from the action, which is super nice for several reasons: it's quieter here, we have a yard, and I get to explore a completely new area to photograph!

The other day I went for a walk with my son and I climbed some hills, which meant I was rewarded with some amazing views. After all, no matter where you live in San Francisco, with over 50 hills in the city, there are always climbs and views to enjoy! I even got to see the ocean at some point! Here are some photos I took while out walking.

Santa Barbara Green

Here are some photos of the beautiful greenery that abounds in Santa Barbara! I took these at the beach, the mountains, the parks and on hiking trails. Where you look, you always find green spaces in Santa Barbara!

 

Rose Garden at the Santa Barbara Mission

If you are ever in Santa Barbara, make sure you take some time to visit the Mission and the Rose Garden that are located directly across the street from the Mission. The Mission Rose Garden offers dozens of different varieties of well-tended roses and an amazing view of the mountains and (on a clear day) of the ocean as well.

Here are some photos of the roses that I took during our weekend in Santa Barbara. Aren't they stunning?

Pelicans in Flight

The coastal trail in Half Moon Bay is a great place to take in amazing ocean views, and it's also a wonderful place to watch sea birds fly by. Last time I was there, lots and lots of pelicans flew by, providing multiple opportunities to capture their beauty with my camera.
