In the Santa Ynez Valley, there are what seems to be countless vineyards that go on for miles. Here's an overlook view to the valley below.

This lovely meadow is at the Santa Barbara Botanical Gardens. Sitting under an oak tree this was my view.

This is one of the trails I take at Arroyo Verde in Ventura, California. It was a bright spring day with all the wildflowers in bloom. You can see Anacapa Island in the distance.

In the hills in Ojai, California there are oak trees in abundance! Here are many on the rolling hills.

It was a windy and sunny day with billowing clouds. Great day for a sail and also to set up my easel regardless of the wind.

Oak trees are in abundance in Ojai, California. Here is one I captured in the "Pink Moment" that is a special time at sunset where the sky and mountains are in an array of pink tones at dusk.

Carpinteria Bluffs is one of my favorite places for a paint out.  Here's one on a bright sunny day.

Using my imagination, I created this nice shaded space under the trees.  Enjoy the view!
