and wants nothing more than to walk and talk with me along the way

I love nothing more than diving right into all the marvels of California when I am visiting. The sky, sun, ocean, rocks (and treasures among them), and moist wonderful breezes that are gentle and do not bite.

Then, as soon as we arrive at our home-away-from-home, checking out the neighborhood.  

Architecture, pots, plants, gates, shadows, smells.  

And when I am really, really, really, lucky, on the first day, I may encounter a very soft pettable kitty living right down the road...

who thinks I am her very best friend and wants nothing more than to walk and talk with me along the way.

Thanks for taking us to the beach, and for the quick look at the neighbors' plants. :-)

Beautiful shots, Carol. I miss the PS flavor, but Montecito has its own charm. Welcome to CA.

Jacki: we missed PS a bit this year too, but look forward to going back next year. maybe even more than usual since we didn't go this year.
