Other Sights From Our Road Trip Day 1

I know it's a bit busy, but this is my favorite pic of the trip

I'm pretty sure this is a valuable cabin cruiser even if it is neglected.

The working end of the boat harbor

I don't know what kind of bird it is, but he is trying to find a way to get into this bait tank

Somebody told me not to let looks fool me, this is one of the busiest fishing boats in the harbor

A look from the  foot of the rock to the town of Morro Bay

A friendly blue jay in an apple tree, at the little house we stayed in at Morro Bay


Jonathan Livingston Seagull, I presume...

Tomorrow I'll be posting "Other Sights From our Road Trip  Day 2"

  1. I love the blue jay- such a vibrant color- and I am from Toronto-
    Looks like a lovely inspirational trip!

  2. Love the bird photos! One of the best parts of an incoming storm around these parts is watching the seagulls play in the wind. Even before the wind arrives, we know there will be a storm because the seagulls start to loiter around the air above the harbour. They are waiting for the wind to come in so they came ride it. - G

  6. Very enjoyable, indeed. I have that same bait tank bird on one of my posts:

    I am told it's a starling, and that they are not always black with yellow eyes. On my post, it was on the pilings pecking for food, so maybe yours was as interested in the mesh as in the fish below.

  10. i love Morro Bay. It's so pretty. I remember going there the first time when I was around 14 or so. My friend's grandfather lived there. It was a fishing village, nothing more. Oh, the big rock. My folks retired to northern Santa Barbara County and they loved to drive up and have breakfast there at a famous place whose name escapes me but I bet it's still there....crap. Can't think of it.

    Looks like you lucked out on the weather.

  14. Ren - It was a lot of fun! The jay was a very nice shade of blue.

    Gerogina - I know what you mean. We're in a very hilly area and the gulls and crows soar for a long time (and fight)

    Brian - Thanks!

    BB - I always want to change my header now. I guess you're rubbing off on me.

    Salt - Thanks so much! I really like it also...

    Tim - thanks Tim. It was a peaceful place...

    Blue Wave - a Kingfisher! Thanks so much...

    California Girl - Me too! I remember when it was a tiny place. Also Cayucos just down the road was the same way. I know Dorn's! We didn't eat there this time, but I have in the past.

    Marlene - Thanks! It's what I love to do...

    Lynne H - Wow! Thanks so much for the nice words. It sure would be a nice relaxing place to live (maybe a little too quiet)

    Clarissa - My pleasure! Thanks!

  16. Hi Pat, Looks like you have been doing some trips in your area. You do have a fabulous coastline out there.... Love seeing your pictures.

    You should buy the cabin cruiser and fix it up!!!!! Great bird pictures also... Your birds are quite different from ours...

    Keep those beautiful pictures coming...
