San Luis Obispo, CA is a magical place where flora and color abound.  This time of year the colors of everything seem especially vibrant.  I visited the San Luis Obispo California Mission (5th in a series) and then the San Luis Obispo Art Museum where a current exhibit by Sha Sha Higby is displayed.  She works in three demensions with fibers, metals, clay and other objects.  Her pieces are stunning.
  Entrance to the museum is free.  I love finding new sources of inspiration and the museum is now on the list.

The mission was fun to photograph because of all the texture and contrasts.  Having left my camera at home, these photos were taken with an iphone.
