I am a Landscape Architect and own my own design firm, True Nature, in Santa Barbara. I am interested in sustainability, ecological and historic restoration, water quality, water conservation, and lowering automobile dependency with green design for numerous reasons. These values enrich my design work by igniting creativity and a desire to make places that people will enjoy and want to care for. I also enjoy watercolor painting, kayaking, and hiking around beautiful Santa Barbara.

Assisi

This week's field trip was to Assisi. The first place we visited was the church of St. Francis. We started on the lower church, and worked our way up. The tomb of St. Francis was especially wonderful.

Piazza of Assisi



The top level of the Assisi church. This top level has the beautiful frescoes done by Giotto. Giotto's painting style moved the medieval style into perspectives and realistic scenery.



An old Roman temple in the main square in Assisi.



Fountain in the main square.



This is a view of the older part of town. The city was really beautiful. Each apartment was heavily decorated with potted flowering plants.








We walked up to the old fortress which had amazing views.
