seats and sidewalks

Santa Barbara is a community where one can enjoy the wonderful weather outside year round. The City has broad tiled sidewalks and benches for one to enjoy in the downtown sections. There are many coffee shops, restaurants and shopping areas along State Street and its nearby side streets.

State Street

Santa Barbara

I felt the breeze thru my hair

As I sat there that warm day on State Street.

The wide tile sidewalks, the trees, the flowers,

The warmth of the breeze coursing thru the leaves;

So restful and beautiful.

I knew this was where I belonged.

Peace.

There are many atmospheric looking walkways in the downtown section of the City where one can find restaurants and stores hidden away from the bustle of the traffic.

Is Life Like This?

I looked up the walkway,

Wondering where it led.

What was there?

Where did it lead?

Is it an ending or does the

Pathway continue on thru to the

Other side?

I wondered that day.

Looking toward De La Guerra Plaza, one can see the tower of the Santa Barbara News Press Newspaper building.

 


Often streets will have their names emblazoned on the tile walks with tile-a nice decorative touch.
