These chairs have obviously been here for a while. They are anchored in about a foot of sand. So wistfully abandoned. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52096ffee4b00fb518761446/1399315608900-OVB86XNR85CSQ8T4L413/IMG_4560.JPG Diary of a Well-Fed Artist - I Walked Along the Beach and Collected These. At the risk of making this particular Ventura County campground even more popular than it already is, this is often the view from our campsite. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52096ffee4b00fb518761446/1399315780636-5KC4EHLL15J5XBJY26H2/image-asset.jpeg Diary of a Well-Fed Artist - I Walked Along the Beach and Collected These. This pelican was not in the mood to be moved by my insistence to continue down the narrow strip of beach we were sharing, but he grumpily waddled aside and let me pass. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52096ffee4b00fb518761446/1399315959885-S2GGJ4VRR1U4KB86Z7BM/IMG_2387.JPG Diary of a Well-Fed Artist - I Walked Along the Beach and Collected These. Our campsite view in Aptos (south of Santa Cruz). We booked this spot seven months ahead of time on the day and hour California State Parks opened April 2014 for reservations. Even at that, we only successfully booked two nights. Worth it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52096ffee4b00fb518761446/1399316150537-3L7MAOLOAA0LGW8LDOOR/image-asset.jpeg Diary of a Well-Fed Artist - I Walked Along the Beach and Collected These. One of the best photos I have ever taken with an iPhone. Wilder Ranch State Park north of Santa Cruz. The most beautiful mountain bike ride in the country. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52096ffee4b00fb518761446/1399316250579-JJT4TCX5D0OMI2QH7WG9/image-asset.jpeg Diary of a Well-Fed Artist - I Walked Along the Beach and Collected These. Photo with my Canon with a medium-large scope on it. In the evening, the water at Aptos becomes a fishy battle ground, with birds diving into the water like missiles and scooping up victims, leaving little splashy explosions in their wake. Like Birdemic with watery explosions instead of explody explosions. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52096ffee4b00fb518761446/1399316503577-92270OAY66UXWO6OA4BP/image-asset.jpeg Diary of a Well-Fed Artist - I Walked Along the Beach and Collected These.

THIS IS A REAL FISH and my favorite fish in the Monterey Bay Aquarium: a Mola-Mola. It has a more scientific name but it doesn't need one. In the ocean around Hawaii, it just swims around at a toddler's pace, hoovering up jelly fish (the only thing slower than itself). Here in the aquarium, the keepers have to teach it to come when called and hand feed it because it cannot get to food just thrown into the tank before getting out-swum by all the other fish. Unfortunately, mola-molas are not known for their intelligence and some cannot remember to come when called for their hand feeding and starve. MY NEW FAVORITE FISH. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52096ffee4b00fb518761446/1399317237373-WWTA7RALUD75LMD9VGFY/image-asset.jpeg Diary of a Well-Fed Artist - I Walked Along the Beach and Collected These.

There are quite a few of these secluded micro-beaches at Wilder Ranch. You may not be completely alone, but nobody's going to hassle you. I have seen sea turtle tracks here. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52096ffee4b00fb518761446/1399317577282-AHBLIOIOMTCFSJ5YK7E5/image-asset.jpeg Diary of a Well-Fed Artist - I Walked Along the Beach and Collected These.

On the path back out of Wilder Ranch. There is a working farm on Wilder Ranch land. Mostly artichokes. At this time of year, the air practically chokes you with pollen and other evidences of the land's verdancy. So much plant sex going on. It's beautiful in your lungs as well as your eyes (but maybe not your nose if you have allergies). http://janicetracy.com/blog/2014/4/2/a-little-fall-in-the-spring monthly 0.5 2014-04-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52096ffee4b00fb518761446/1396461239131-2SSCAGHLR3AL6SLSMAE5/image-asset.jpeg Diary of a Well-Fed Artist - A Little Fall in the Spring Eagle Creek 1 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52096ffee4b00fb518761446/1396461764729-3GS12YAOW4K8ZBILNHTS/image-asset.jpeg Diary of a Well-Fed Artist - A Little Fall in the Spring Dark beginnings https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52096ffee4b00fb518761446/1396462268762-K17D4UY8CRG16EUVZY75/image-asset.jpeg Diary of a Well-Fed Artist - A Little Fall in the Spring Here come the leaves https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52096ffee4b00fb518761446/1396462369050-86FRUD0XQNBP08IDY3G9/image-asset.jpeg Diary of a Well-Fed Artist - A Little Fall in the Spring Almost there https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52096ffee4b00fb518761446/1396462434793-2P5G5SYKC84XQCUT46EN/image-asset.jpeg Diary of a Well-Fed Artist - A Little Fall in the Spring Now we're talking. http://janicetracy.com/blog/2014/2/23/the-man-and-his-dog monthly 0.5 2014-02-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52096ffee4b00fb518761446/1393202519120-ZCI0AUHT0ANGPK6IXRVA/IMG_0215.JPG Diary of a Well-Fed Artist - The Man and His Dog Scotty in the park in autumn https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52096ffee4b00fb518761446/1393202668901-32L1EZXHDBPYAR0DCX5S/IMG_0474.jpg Diary of a Well-Fed Artist - The Man and His Dog A remnant of Felida's former country life.
