tour on downtown Santa Barbara

tour on downtown Santa Barbara, originally uploaded by majamom.

I have a powerful attration to had carved wooden statues. Does anyone
else just adore them?

This Indian standing

just outside a cigar emporium,caught my attention sending me back to Utah-

2 months ago with my brother, where he stood next to an even more

impressive,larger,older, wooden Indian, at the entrance to Zion National Park.

I was filled with a sense of gratitude for the opportunities given me
this year to

explore places I have yearned to, along side of someone I love dearly.

With that, I took another longing look toward state street wishing I had more

time, but, the ocean was calling my name.
