Photobucket is holding all my photos I stored with them from 2007-2015 hostage. They have blacked out all those photos on my blog posts. OH BOTHER! I’m slowly cleaning up my posts.
This was taken at the City Hall in the City of Ventura. This is Fray Junipero Serra who founded the Mission San Buenaventura. If you are interested in seeing more photos from the Mission he founded click here. The sky was clear and blue on this Saturday.
This great looking tree was kitty corner from the Statue and I liked how the sky looked through the branches.
This is the tree. I’ll need to do some research to see what kind of tree it is.

I tried to enlarge the one tree picture but it wouldn’t enlarge. Very nice and interesting pictures you have today!!
Amazing and with beautiful subjects the photographs. Splendid post.
Marvellous the comments!
Ellen,
These are wonderful. I’m wondering when the statue was created. It’s strong and beautiful. The radial pattern of the branches on these trees swoops me up and away. Wonderful. You are gifted!
I really enjoyed all of these. Thanks for sharing them.
Awesome…especially the first one…….WOW
Very nice sky picture. Love the statue.
Beautiful pictures! I didn’t realize how big that statue was.
nice shot of the trees! Happy skywatch!
Oh wow, that sky is soooooo blue!!
And the tree shot is spectacular!
Beautiful shots!!
Great photos! I especially enjoy the 2nd photo with the trees looking up. Wow!
Those are very nice shots i love the first one with the link. That is a strange looking tree almost looks like the trunk of an elephant LOL
I like these…especially the tree!
Nice shot! The sky is so blue on the statuepicture!
That blue sky streaming through the tree branches is a marvelous photo!
The first shot is great! 🙂
Great capture.

One excellent sky watch Friday, well done.
Beautiful sky and statue.
Beautiful photos.
hi there – these are great images. love that middle shot.
first one is excellent.
I loved bout of these pictures and enjoyed the brief history of the first! Thanks for sharing, I love reading about places I haven’t been.
Love the clean lines of the statue against the clean sky!
the statue is biggggg….love the blue sky!
Beautifully clear!
Nice Skywatch and a beautiful mission. I do love the Spanish mission style architecture. We have similar stuff here in Florida around St. Augustine, but ours is a couple hundred years older so the designs aren’t quite as elaborate or well appointed.
oh that second is dizzyingly delightful
Those are both very unique and creative. Great work (I especially like the second one)
Wonderful!
Great looking picture through that tree!
First time visiting. Love the crisp, clear pictures! Word Filled Wednesday sounds like a really good idea. I’ll be back. 🙂
Beautiful blue sky. Very nice. Did you find out what kind of tree that is?
Yes Stanwood is in Washington. Are you acquainted with it? MB

I love all of your photographs! Funny, I’ve always said katty corner! I like kitty corner much better.
Excellent use of the sky as a compositional element in all of the captures. Well done!
Just beautiful blue sky. Nice picture!
