It’s raining in Santa Barbara.
I stayed in this town with my love and her boyfriend for almost three years when this time came to a surprising and abrupt end.
I am perched in the hills over the city for days, looking down and inward, trying to get my arms around the new situation.
After about two weeks I decide to leave the area with a beautiful sunset, wavy clouds from the nearby wild fire.
Soaking on my way north at Franklin Hot springs.
After a few days warming up I am continuing towards Ukiah in northern California.
