Critters At SB State Beach
Catching the Wind
Nature is all around us at Santa Barbara State Beach, from the annoying and noisy seagull, to the water, clouds in the sky, to the pelicans on top of a roof building. I took in the fresh sea breeze, the warm sun light on my face, and snapped pictures happily.
My son was busy playing with his little cousins, and chasing different birds on the boardwalk. Everyone was enjoying a beautiful day. Our group had a total of 14 people, kids and adults, males and females.

And as unpredictable as the weather everywhere else, we got rain and chilly wind when the sun went down. The little children and their parents enjoyed ducking out from the rain visiting the Sea Science Center, while some us took refuge under the roof of some stores on the boardwalk.
We had a complete day of a joyful event, and filled with different teases of the weather!
