I took time out yesterday from annual exam appointments to walk around the town of San Luis Obispo (California). I took pictures using my new zoom lens on my Pentax istd. I love the advent of digital photos and I love this small city of approximately 45,000 people. I passed a shop that works on antique cars.
At the Cowboy Cookie and Grub Shop, I had the Wrangler (an oatmeal coconut rice krispy) cookie. The sales person said I would not be disappointed. And he was right. Yum.
The old mission was a beautiful white-washed structure.
Shop owners and employees were busy getting ready for opening their shops.
Flowers were blooming everywhere around the streets of SLO and along the creek that runs through the middle of the city.
This area seems to attract antique vehicle owners with their automobiles. This Studebaker was parked along the street.
The trees leaves were bright yellow green with light shining through the limbs. I could live in this town in a minute. But with California's high unemployment, work is hard to find in the area.
The flowers of the beautiful Jacaranda trees blossomed everywhere.

I love SLO. I visited once - long-lost cousins, but that's a long story. I'd love to go back and just explore the town and the hills surrounding.
Beautiful photos.

Beautiful photos! I haven't been to SLO for 17 years! We were there for my step-son's wedding. Do they still have bubblegum alley? All of us chewed large wads of apple green bubble gum, even my in-laws, who were in their 70's and 80's, and then spelled our last name and the year in bright green gum on the wall in the alley!
Awesome pics. You really know your way around that new lens!
