Happy Days in Uncertain Times

Fellow kayaking in Santa Barbara Harbor
 In these disturbing and uncertain times
I am posting happy memories from a month ago.
Boats in the S. B. harbor

Strolling along the breakfront
 Is "breakfront" the right term?
This really isn't a pier but it is a fun place
to walk and people watch.
Discussing the day's events

Just ridin' along on his bike.

Gathering for kickball on the beach!

Family out for a little ride along the beach!

Run, run, run!

High 5s!

Just me & my puppy... life is good!

I love spinnakers.

Now if we didn't have all these kids we could play kickball too.

Early morning family outing. Wish I could do that.

Giraffe float from the Solstice Day Parade in downtown Santa Barbara.

Folks enjoying a Saturday afternoon downtown.

Balloon man.

Ellen, it was a fun day just people watching & snapping away with my camera. I like the balloon seller too, but my favorite are the families on the peddle-powered carts.

Hello Lizzy

Love all your pictures, but it's something about the second one I like best. I have always had a thing with boats.

Take Care

Best
Tracy :)

Such beautiful pictures that really scream happiness!
It's a good way to overcome certain things to hold our memories of Happy Days.

Much love to you, my friend.
Hope you're having a nice weekend.

Thanks Tracy, I love going to a harbor to look at boats. There is something very relaxing about that.

Cheryl Cato said...

Seeker, yes, looking at fun, happy photos is a good way to avoid the worry of world events. There seems to be trouble everywhere.

Thanks for the beautiful feel-good photos! So good to feel the positive energy. Very hard to even chose a favourite, but I do love the little one with the puppy!
