Lotusland Gardens

There are always places to visit that will make a holiday. Upon returning home you realize how incredibly fortunate you were and amazing a place you just visited. I am often asked why I love Santa Barbara so much. Having lived there for 14+ years and then been forced to move away, only to return and visit I can honestly say there are almost too many reasons to mention. But this is one inherent reason: the natural beauty and its accessibility. Anyone, of any socio-economic background can access the offerings the city presents to the visitor. If you are on a Mcdonald's budget you can see the same amazing sites as the Billionaire with the house in Montecito.

Lotusland is such a place. You will be amazed. I will let the photos speak for themselves. (Thank you Karl.)
