Sunset at the Andree Clark Bird Refuge - Santa Barbara, CA.
Saturday night was a gig night for my band. We had an early set up and I was going home to chill before coming back for our performance. Leaving the parking lot of the Montecito Country Club, I saw a tumultuous blanket of clouds smothering the western sky, but plenty of room at the horizon for late afternoon rays to underlight this canvas. The shot above, moments before the light ebbed, is the most dramatic.
That's it for me. Here are tidbits from a few fellow bloggers I have listed at my blogroll.

We had a big snow storm come through on Sat. Mr Chiots and I were at a wedding. Our trip to the wedding was a little scary, but by the time we left that evening the road crews had done a great job clearing up the roads.
Thanks for the link!
Beautiful shot! How'd the performance go?

GF: The performance last week was great, but the guests must have had their groove genes mutated. We played better than ever and had about 20 people dancing in the entire night. Last night, however, more than made up for it. We packed the house at Santa Barbara's premiere dance club and kept everyone hot and sweaty for four solid hours.
Thanks for asking. Back to the drums again tonight.
Love your blog. Awesome picture.
