Summer Hummerz
It just so happened that our local botanical garden had what I would call a "hummingbird fest" and they call "Summer Hummerz". Whatever you call it, it was a colorful celebration of hummingbirds.
Aussie Breakfast
We've had the Aussie Breakfast at Frontside Cafe before, and it's good, but what was different this time was that the scrambled eggs didn't have that "scrambled" look. They looked more like a slab. For comparison, see the same breakfast below served in April.

obscure detail
An obscure detail from the bike ride I took on what would have been my dad's 93rd birthday: evidently half of this huge catalpa tree in Foster Park fell to the ground. Or at least that's what it looks like. The more I scrutinize the photo, the more confused I get.
The Daisy
Yet another new Santa Barbara restaurant - or at least new for us - The Daisy serves healthy, plant-forward, Mediterranean-inspired fare. Evidently it's very popular since it quickly filled up after we sat down for our simple soup-and-salad lunch.

Goodland Waffles
Since The Upham doesn't serve a proper breakfast we found ourselves checking out Goodland Waffles, a relatively new venue in the space formerly occupied by Hook and Press Donuts.
