Description

COUNTRY CHARM by Lynn Bauer - A stop at the local market in Los Olivos,
California provides a treat as beautiful purple irises bloom alondside wine barrels sitting in front of a red wooden fence. The lighting was wonderful as
it set the irises off perfectly.Los Olivos is one of five communities (with
Ballard, Buellton, Solvang, and Santa Ynez) that make up the Santa Ynez Valley. The town is near SR 154, a scenic road from Santa Barbara
over San Marcos Pass, through the coastal Santa
Ynez Mountains. Los Olivos was connected by the
narrow gauge railroad to points north as far as San
Luis Obispo until the train made its last run in 1934.
The southern terminus of the railroad was in front of
Mattie's Tavern, where a stagecoach line continued
over San Marcos Pass into Santa Barbara. The tavern
is still in operation, and is one of the highlights of the area,
with a well-respected restaurant and historic charm.
