One of my favorite places for morning walks with my dog, Scout, is the Santa Barbara Harbor. I admire the activity on and around the fishing boats, gaze at the pelicans soaring overhead, and take way too many photos of sunrises and sunsets. Scout sniffs all the smells and encourages me toward the sand no matter the time of day.

So, we usually start out walking toward the breakwater, then circle back in front of the Santa Barbara Yacht Club and walk back along the beach. The yacht club features prominently in my photos; it’s always a stylish and stalwart landmark.
