A Walk

Filed under: by Anne,Happiness,Has Photos,Nature,Random,SB Region — John @ 00:27

I’m hoping Anne will start making more posts to our blog, but meanwhile I wanted to share some pix she took yesterday. While I was at our dentist on Coast Village, she walked to the Biltmore and along some of Butterfly Beach. It’s always fun for me to see how other people see, and her perspective in particular is of course fascinating to me. For example, I like how she snapped just one wing and the shadow of a bird (heron?) in this beach view.

I cropped this from her larger frame that included a few diaphanous clouds, in order to accent the bird. Such a beautiful town to live in with such a beautiful person, eh?

She also snapped several studies of this floral collection, and this one isn’t cropped though I did compensate somewhat for her compact camera.

I like how she features the yellow, yet includes the tiny white and blue flowers once you’re drawn in. As you may have noticed, pix from her camera are at a different numbering sequence (e.g. 0984 vs 7090 on my camera) though yesterday’s ground-level Courthouse snap was my idea on her camera. If you like her work, please consider posting a comment and/or using our Contact link near the upper right of every page. A little encouragement might get her snapping and posting more often. 🙂

Laura D @ UCSB

I (Anne) took this photo of Laura at UCSB as she went to her meeting of potential hires. She looks so professional, which of course she is!  I like her stride.

After her experience she had critique of how UCSB handled the event and said she could ‘so help them’ if they’d ask, as she has experience with other schools that did it better.

So sweet to have Laura with us 🙂

here & there – airport, university, ocean, islands

Filed under: Aviation,by Anne,Flying,Random,SB Region — Anne @ 05:00

The air was crystal clear today after so many days of intense wind blew away the recent haze.  This makes more of a chance that my little point&shoot will take acceptable photos. I snapped this of Santa Barbara airport with UCSB campus straight ahead, and at the top lay the two largest in the Channel Islands National Park, Santa Cruz (l) & Santa Rosa (r) islands.  ~Anne
