We've had some beautiful skies this summer. Hoping for r-a-i-n.
Hollister, California is a real town that has been around since the 1870s. Unlike the fictional town created by a corporate clothing company, Hollister is no where near a beach. The town is about 45 miles east of the Pacific Ocean. Seagulls occasionally make their way over the mountains. Hopefully, they are able to find their way back.

Beautiful Countryside
On Southside Road, near Enterprise Road, someone recently planted several Italian cypress trees. That's going to be an even more amazing scene when they get bigger.

Streets of San Juan Bautista
It's fun to walk around San Juan Bautista to see the Mission San Juan Bautista and other various historic sites and buildings, as well the shops, galleries, gardens, trees, valley views, and more. I'm glad I live nearby so I don't have to see it all in one day.
A good source to have on hand as your stroll through town is the San Juan Bautista Historic District Walking Tour Pamphlet. You can download a copy from this link.
Here are a few more random street scenes of San Juan Bautista.

Trees of San Juan Bautista
How does that poem by Joyce Kilmer start?
"I think I shall never see
A poem lovely as a tree."
San Juan Bautista has many lovely trees of all sorts up and down its sweet, quaint streets.

More Photos of San Juan Bautista
This past week I've been posting photos of San Juan Bautista, the second biggest city in San Benito County. The biggest? Hollister, of course.
Here are a few more random look-sees around this grand old town of San Juan.
