My recent business trip to Monterey, CA went well. That is to say, there was plenty of opportunity to do some limited sightseeing. Limited to the immediate environs, that is; I did NOT get to drive up to Elkhorn Slough and spend four days there communing with the wetlands. I did, though, get to see a few birds here and there, along with some other old friends (like St. Mary’s by the Sea, the “little red church” on Central where I got married). Good memories.
The iceplant brings back even older memories, of my childhood in California; these succulents are so full of water that we kids used to break them off and use them as sidewalk writing instruments. The writing faded as the water dried, but it was a lot of fun while it lasted. (Hmmm; writing that disappears shortly after being made. What a concept.)
Below is my photo gallery of the trip; the canvasback is from Martinez, and the Steller’s Jay is from the Concord BART station, but everything else is from in and around Monterey.

Where is the hummingbird “mural”? I really like it. Love that little red church, too. Many happy memories!

The hummingbird art is in the office of one of our customers.
