My parents wanted to send me off to a school in Monterey Calif. I know it was by the ocean. Anway, they wouldn't take me! I was too bad of a girl. Oh well. I turned out okay.
Marlene - I'm with you! In fact, I think we were sitting there for quite a while.
Belle - They would have been doing you a favor. There aren't many area more beautiful that that part of the state. When California was part of Mexico, this was the capital.
Rek - It's a very relaxing place. It also has a world class aquarium.
Dianne - It sure is! Thanks!
Brian - Oh yeah! It's a good place to hang around.
James - thanks James. Nothing epic, but nice enough.
Dianne - Thanks so much! It's so beautiful there.
Robyn - I'm sure you know it well. Pretty close to where you used to live. I LOVE Big Sur also. Not too many places in the world more scenic that Big Sur.
That's where I want to spend my weekend! So cool and refreshing!
P.S. Pat, when you go to LV, please also stop by the Valley of Fire, the rock formations are more beautiful. I posted a few pictures (just do a search on my blog).
the light, and the color of the water/sky is very very beautiful. our harbor scenes such as this will be changing very soon here in the midwest, but I imagine people can keep their boats in the water indefinitely there, right? this is a stunning capture Pat. happy day to you.
California Girl - I agree! We've stayed several places there, but settled on the Victorian Inn. These days, it's a fairly close by RV park. We can then drive into town and it's so much cheaper.
Berit - Thanks so much! I hope you are having a good weekend also.
Chuck - I'm sure any water at all, looks good to folks in Texas right now. Hope it cools for you soon.
Ms. Becky - Thanks Becky! Yep, this is the ocean, but the lakes here are pretty full.
Jenny - Me too! I'm not a big sandy beach person anyway.
This is the right pic for a day like today. Even up here on the temperate-beyond-all-reason End of the Earth promontory that is Astoria, we are having a warm day. It's nice to see all that blue under the boats!
That does look refreshing as I sit enduring inland heat. We got a chance to brave the low clouds and wind that accompanied the high surf at Zuma Beach. Amazing what a change a few miles can make.
I love Monterey Bay when I visited five years ago..
Beautiful photo, and I am glad you came to visit..I was looking for your blog the other day, but got to one that warns me about adult content, and know that it wasn't yours..
Nice! Wish our coastline looked more like that.
ReplyDeleteOh, what a wonderful thing to reflect on. Sigh!
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend!
Lovely.
ReplyDeleteI love these reflection photos - they are so fun. I take quite a few myself but never get around to posting them. Sometime soon here I will :)
ReplyDeleteahhh...boats, beach, ocean...
ReplyDeleteRosemary
Blue watery reflections in a marina. Makes me think of a lazy Sunday on the water. Not a lot of blue here... just gray.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful bay.

Monterey is one of my most favorite places in the world (that I've been to - I haven't been to many though!).
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this one!
That's pretty. I think I could spend a whole day perched in that spot, doing nothing but gazing.
ReplyDeleteMy parents wanted to send me off to a school in Monterey Calif. I know it was by the ocean. Anway, they wouldn't take me! I was too bad of a girl. Oh well. I turned out okay.

How nice ... certainly an excellent marina.

A photo like this is worth a thousand ideas. "Where shall we sail to today, honey?"
ReplyDeleteBeautiful place. The Old Monterey Inn is a wonderful place to stay.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful picture and place Patrick.
ReplyDeleteWish you a nice weekend:)
Greetings and a hug from,
Berit.
Anthony - Thanks my friend!
ReplyDeleteLeovi - It truly is a nice place.
Ebie - Me too! One of my favorite places. Thanks for the Valley of Fire tip. I just went to your post on it. We will try.
That look reminds me of how low the lake levels are around. Exposing shoreline and all. But your picture looks cooler.
ReplyDeletethe light, and the color of the water/sky is very very beautiful. our harbor scenes such as this will be changing very soon here in the midwest, but I imagine people can keep their boats in the water indefinitely there, right? this is a stunning capture Pat. happy day to you.
ReplyDeleteOh gosh. I love a rocky beach! This is glorious.
ReplyDeleteBrenda - Now that's a good problem to have!
