This Weekend: Walk to the Mission, Bike Rides, and Scotch Tasting

January 13th, 2009 Leave a comment Go to comments

Dore and I had quite a weekend!  On Saturday, we took a walk to the mission this weekend.  It was really nice, but I didn’t expect it to be quite as rigorous as it was.  I took my camera along with us, and managed to snap a couple of shots, but for the most part didn’t shoot too much. The lighting was pretty lame — it was the middle of the day — but despite that I managed to find a couple of shots that worked pretty well.

On Sunday we went out for a bike ride.  We finally got Dore’s bike all put together and tuned up, so we rode all around downtown Santa Barbara.  We rode down to the beach and saw the weekly art fair, then we went out to Dargains for lunch.  It was delicious.  Afterwards we went back home and got cleaned up, then went over to Maria’s house for a scotch tasting.  I only took one single picture the whole day, but it actually came out very nicely.

Mmm... Scotch

This one works quite well as a black and white as well.

    You left yourself out of the first sentence, but I got the drift.

    Nice picture of the bottles. I really like the way your pictures have your name on the bottom right corner. You’ll have to teach me how to do that.
    I have some awesome pictures of the verandas and stairs and windows of the Mission I took last summer. I will have to send them to you if I ever get HS internet !!

    Love your view on life, as usual.

    Oops… I forgot the “I”! Thanks for pointing that out. I used Picasa’s “export” function to put the watermark on the photos.
