My Work Commute

When I tell people my schedule of driving from Newbury Park to Santa Barbara about 4 times a week, I get the same reaction: "Oh, that's alot of driving" and "Doesn't that get old." The truth is, over the last few months, I've really enjoyed my "long" commute. I had the opportunity in the last few weeks to take some pictures to illustrate why this drive is not so bad. I think those who thought this drive might be burdensome will change their opinion. The first picture is the sunset I witnessed while driving back to N.P. in the early morning. I pulled over at one of my favorite points in the drive, down into Summerland from Montecito. I'm so glad I got myself up in time to see it
I've also started taking a Perspectives Class at church on Tuesday nights. I took this picture outside of Ventura at sunset on the way to Carp.

The last pictures, I took at sunset on the cliff of Shoreline Park. J and I had just finished our yoga stretching routine at Shoreline and before I got back into the car to make the drive to N.P. I stopped to enjoy the view. It was absolutely incredible. I can't beleive how many sunsets I missed being consumed in my last career.
