It's a preserve located in Isla Vista, in Santa Barbara County. Being protected for research and education, makes me extra happy being here.

Standing at Goleta beach behind my easel I enjoyed capturing the reflections from the sky into the water. This is the view looking east towards Santa Barbara, California.

Walking down Butterfly Beach Lane, Montecito, here is the view looking towards Santa Barbara.

Walking along this path I was stopped me in my tracks to paint the view.
