Our last hurrah before school took us once again to Santa Barbara. If I was a multimillionaire, I would live there–as a maid! That being said, they have so many things to pleasure the senses.
These orchid pictures were taken at a place called Santa Barbara Orchid Estates, which is really appropriate since they grow orchids and they are in Santa Barbara! 🙂
After the orchid place, we got lost trying to find our way back to the freeway and ended up driving up hills on tiny streets with gazillion dollar homes on either side and a fabulous view of the blue Pacific. Incredible! The only thing that keeps me from lusting too badly after their homes is the consolation I get from knowing I am much further inland if a tsunami hits.
I know I’m wicked, but I’m working on that. I should be thankful for what I have; and afterall, I have just as much sand as they do, it’s just not attached to water.
Nice that the cat sneaked in there too… They’re clever like that… 😉
He was Orchcat the guard cat! At least, I think.
He was “Orchcat the guard cat!” LOL This was great and beautiful. God Bless, SR
🙂
I have one of those too…. They pick their own hours and working terms and conditions though… 🙂
Pretty orchids! Love the kitty, too.
It is a sensory overload place.
Oh, Oh, Oh – the Orchid photos are astounding! The kitty seems to love ’em too. 🙂
It was a fun place to see. So much beauty……………..

I adore orchids. They are so beautiful and elegant. Beautiful photos.
I think it’s my new mania.
Orchids have to be rated as one of the most beautiful flowers, and to think that they are parasites!!! Wonderful display of flowers. Thank you so much for sharing.
They are quite amazing. I never thought of that really, but yes, they are parasites. Hmm.
