Mountains!!! Something the area of Ohio I live in doesn't have.
We stayed the night in Morro Bay last night in a lovely hotel directly across the street from the Cotton Ball Quilt Shop but we arrived after it had closed and left before it opened.
Wildlife...up close and personal....
....otters playing in the water....so fun to watch.
friendly squirrels....a gaggle of them....(is there a word for a group of squirrel Gene?)
Elephant seals deliver their pups on these beaches....between Morro Bay and Pacific Grove.
A real treat for the eyes of a winter toasted Ohioan for sure.
Amazing views all along Route 1 going up the coast.
A rare site on the beach....that winter toasted Ohioan...yep...I went for a brisk walk on the beach after unpacking here at Asilomar. All I can say is I'm so incredibally happy to be here and I'm tail wagging excited about my class tomorrow :)
Thanks for sharing the road with me today!
Big Warm Smiles,
Kelly
When I see pictures of the landscapes in Cali.... it makes me miss it so!
ReplyDeleteThere is no official name for a group of squirrels. I would call them a "pest of squirrels" or a "terrorist cell of squirrels." I have a story to go with that last one. Ha ha.
ReplyDeleteI'm officially jealous, the classes they offer all seem to be wonderful and I'm pretty sure I know who your friend is. Have a great time!
ReplyDeleteCalifornia is beautiful. I grew up in Northern California but moved to the midwest after I got married. Only back to visit.
ReplyDeleteLove all your photos. I'm sure you are enjoying the sand and surf and sunshine :-) Soak it all in!
ReplyDeleteYou are one lucky duck! Enjoy your class & the sunshine!

ReplyDeletewhen i was a girl living in CA my parents used to take us to Morro Bay camping and boating.
