Hope Ranch

We got an unusual routing over Hope Ranch from ATC after takeoff yesterday, and this old-style mansion really stands out.

I think this place near the eastern gate has been in construction for quite a while, and I wonder what it’s like for the neighbors.

Further to the East above Hendry’s (Arroyo Burro) beach, we got the opposite view of “Eyelash Hill” in the distance, beyond the blue-roofed place that is said to have something to do with the Shah of Iran.

We’re off to a grad event, so maybe I’ll post more pix from this flight later…

We made the quick hop to Santa Paula, and I wanted to share a few pix in addition to those I’m sending to Edhat and putting on my Photo Page.

First this little park off Cathedral Oaks in Goleta, where we went a few times with Bob Zitzer and our friend Steve. I don’t know if this circle is new, but it was the kid zooming around the circle that first drew my attention. It’s remarkable to me that having the time to look more closely now, I can see at least four people in this shot from more than 1/2 mile away.

We’re about to join Molly for UCSB pre-grad festivities, but I just had to also share this snap from a mile or so West of the Santa Paula airport. The colors are so vibrant!
