A Monterey Day“Break, break, break, On thy cold gray stones, O sea! And I would that my tongue could utter The thoughts that arise in me”
Alfred, Lord Tennyson
If you ever chance to come to California... to the Monterey Bay... may I suggest that you visit the southern most tip of the Bay. Just dawdle your way through Monterey ... see the Aquarium Monterey Bay Aquarium at 886 Cannery Row, Monterey, California 93940 ... wander on past the B&B's and Inns that will drop your jaw... and on around to the tip where the waves of the outer sea meet those within the Bay, and you will find a place you won't want to leave. Pick up tiny shells, poke around in the tide-pools at low tide, but take your time! On your way back, stop in at the best kept secret on the Bay... (see article). A co-op of fishermen have a little surprise for you. The Sea Harvest... a little restaurant that (in my opinion) rivals any of the 5 star restaurants at Pebble Beach, in flavor and ambiance. As you sit looking out the windows, you will see seals who think that dock was built just for them! If you time it right, you'll see the best otter population on the Bay. This is my stomping grounds. Hope you can visit one day. (:
OOOh, I want to visit this spot so very much, heard many wonderful things from friends who have visited there. You are one lucky girl to be living in such a beautiful dreamy spot.I would never tire of such an magical place as this! Enjoy it for me!

Hi Vicki,
ReplyDeleteI would love to create a banner for you especially if it has to do with the sea. The magic of the ocean and everything about it is so magical. My son gave me another program this evening for my birthday tomorrow so I imagine that I will be hooked with digital graphics for quite a while not to mention photography to use in my work. Seahorses are rare and my daughter painted a picture of one for me a while back, I'll have to get her to dig it up. Email me at annabelle1357@hotmail.com with your ideas.
Talk to you soon,
Hugs Annabelle
Hi Vicki...beautiful shots, lovely to see your stomping ground. Co-incidentally this afternoon I went and did what you have just done...showed my stomping ground. We both live in beautiful areas...look forward to seeing more...Dzintra

ReplyDeleteGood Morning. Found you via Corey over at Tongue and Cheek. I'm the one who adores Watsonville strawberries. YummO. We adore Monterrey. Hubster used to live their when the language school was very active. Will heed your recommendation about The Sea Harvest. Phil's Fishmarket over on Mosslanding is another favorite. Best Chippion. Threw down Bobby Flay he did.
